Through our partnership with Matthew 25 Ministries, we have been able to provide local nonprofits with large quantities of cleaning supplies, personal care kits, batteries, and toys. Here at Paytonโs Lemonade Stand, weโve spent the past few months identifying nonprofits in need of these supplies and seeing how we could help. One of our many recipients, Madiโs House, was able to distribute these items to many of their members at their Wednesday Warrior meeting last night. These brave individuals are courageously fighting their battles against mental health and addiction and we are so happy to have been able to gift them with needed items their whole family can use. ๐
We canโt wait to share more about this program that is helping so many who are facing hardships! ๐
A vital part of our lemonade community is our incredible hosts, and we are so excited to be adding even more this year - making it another record-breaking year! For many, it has become their summer tradition of giving back and a great way to bring their community together. In addition to hosting, they have the unique opportunity to be involved in various lemonade events throughout the year and are celebrated at our BIG party in August. โ

Our hearts are bursting with gratitude this morning! ๐ With our incredible growth, has come a big need for storage. For years, we sacrificed space in our home in order to keep our organization's overhead costs down โ something that is very important to us. Westside Storage and Truck Rental, a local family-owned business, heard about our need from a few of our amazing hosts and presented us with an offer that we couldnโt pass up!! We now have storage space!! ๐ฆ๏ธ We are so so grateful for this wonderful local business and their willingness to help us out in a time of need! ๐ Our community continues to amaze us!
Earlier this week, we had the wonderful opportunity to speak to the @magnifiedgiving Club at Saint Ignatius. It is so heartwarming to see a group of 8th grade students who chose to forego having a study hall and instead join a club where they get to learn more about philanthropy and the impact they alone can have on a local nonprofit! ๐ And wouldnโt you know, two of our very own summer hosts were in the club โ we werenโt surprised a bit to see these two amazing girls! ๐

It is no secret that having an AED machine at the field on Monday night significantly increased Damar Hamlinโs chance of survival. We are hopeful that this will create more discussion for the need of AED machines at youth sports facilities across the world. In light of recent events, we will be making a donation to our friends at The Matthew Mangine Jr. Foundation in hopes of providing an AED machine to a local facility so that more children suffering medical emergencies on the field will have access to life saving resources. โ
โ
Below is a statement recently released from The Matthew Mangine Jr. Foundation:โ
โ
โOn behalf of the Matthew Mangine Jr. Foundation (MMJF), we would like to express our sincere empathy for the events that occurred during the Bengals vs. Bills football game on Monday night at Paycor Stadium. Our thoughts and prayers will continue to be with Damar Hamlin and his entire family.โ
โ
This occurrence shows the importance of preparedness for a catastrophic event. Itโs not a matter of if something will happen, itโs a matter of when.โ
โ
MMJF has been on a mission for the past two and a half years to promote awareness, education, and medical safety measures of all cardiac related episodes for competitive youth and high school sports. This includes stressing the importance of having accurate Emergency Action Plans (EAPs) and implementing them in a timely manner. It also includes efforts to expand the availability of Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) to youth and high school sports teams and organizations. The goal is to safeguard athletes by supplying teams with knowledge and equipment to deliver immediate medical attention, prior to EMS arrival.โ
โ
Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) is the leading cause of death among youth athletes. After Hamlinโs collapse, we should all ask what is being done at every level of sports to care for athletes when an emergency arises.โ
โ
You only have one shot to save a life, and every second counts.โโ

Please take a minute to read about the important work that MMJF does by visiting matthewmanginejrfoundation.org.
Our final donation of 2022! A few weeks ago, our amazing volunteer, Claudia, delivered over 85 brand new coats (and several Kroger gift cards!) to our partners over at @upspringcincy ! ๐ Did you know that nearly half of children in the Greater Cincinnati area live in poverty? In fact, many of them are homeless. โ
โ
Unfortunately, we have one of the highest rates in the country. They were especially thankful for this donation because many of the coats are for bigger kids and teens โ coat sizes that arenโt often donated. ๐โ
โ
Thanks to YOU, weโll be keeping so many kids warm this winter and providing meals for those who need it.
During our busy week last week, Payton, Presley and fellow lemonade host, Lucas, had the chance to drop off a BIG toy donation to the Ronald McDonald House. Many of these gifts went into โRonaldโs Workshopโ where parents staying at RMH had a chance to โshopโ for their kids for Christmas. Being away from home isnโt easy, especially around the holidays, but we hope giving these parents the opportunity to get Christmas gifts for their children to open on Christmas morning helped make the holiday a little bit sweeter. ๐โ
โ
Our donation will also be used to stock the toy closet at RMH โ providing toys to kids all year round! ๐โค๏ธโ

When we visited @hopesclosetsupports earlier this year, we learned that a major need of theirs is items for teens in foster care, specifically "name brand clothing". These teens want to fit in with their peers and deserve to have nice things! Several of our lemon tags were marked with โNike apparelโ and you all came through in a big way! ๐ We were able to donate a large box of brand new Nike clothing, brand new basketballs and footballs, Mary Kay makeup kits and gift cards! ๐ It's amazing what this community can do when we come together!
We made our annual trip up north to Dayton last week to drop off our BIG Christmas donation to Shriners Burn Hospital. ๐ Our Executive Director, Jess, worked as a child life specialist at @shrinersohio early in her career. To hear her stories about the families and children she worked with would bring tears to your eyes. These families suffer the unimaginable and Shriners holds a very special place in her heart. It brings her so much joy to be able to gift them such a large donation each year. All items collected (from YOU) were taken from a special wish list given to us so we know how much this donation will be used over the next several months. ๐
In addition to collecting toys this holiday season, we also collected gift cards โ 85 to be exact!! ๐ Staff at local nonprofits love having gift cards that they can give to families in a time of need. They can give one to a foster family who just took in a child so that they can get needed clothing. They can give one to a family who finds themselves unexpectedly in the hospital so they can get some essentials. They can also give one to a family who canโt afford to put food on their table in a time of crisis. Gift cards are distributed for so many reasons and we canโt thank you enough for providing an abundance of them this year!! ๐๐
WE. ARE. SPEECHLESS. ๐ Our 2nd Annual Holiday Lemon Giving Tree campaign was a HUGE success! Over $20,000 in toys and gift cards were collected by our amazing tree sponsors and their incredibly generous customers and employees!! Soooo many children facing hardships will be smiling brighter because of YOU!! ๐ All deliveries have been made and we canโt wait to share where these gifts were given and who they will benefit, but for now, these elves are exhausted!! ๐ Weโre going to spend the holiday with our family and hop back on next week to share more! โ
โ
Merry Christmas to our incredible lemonade community!! May you find time over the next few days to count your blessings and enjoy time with your loved ones! We know we will! ๐
Yesterday we had the pleasure of joining our dear friends, @cincywxman and Julie Raleigh, at the 2nd Annual Miracle on Madison event benefitting @madishouse ๐ The girls enjoyed participating in the fashion show and board members, Mike and Chris, enjoyed singing โFrosty the Snowmanโ to the crowd. โ๏ธ๐ We are so excited to see the difference Madi's House is making for so many who struggle with addiction and mental health. We'll also be sharing another update on the playroom next month!
Thanks to YOU, weโre keeping kids experiencing homelessness warm this winter! ๐๐๐ @upspringcincy

Today we had an incredible opportunity to help with the Toyful Joyful Christmas luncheon held downtown at the Duke Energy Convention Center. ๐ This is a luncheon that students from some of our poorest areas downtown get invited to if they meet behavioral and attendance standards. It started 28 years ago when they supported students from just one classroom and it has grown to include over 600 students! Each student is gifted a Christmas gift at this event and, for some, itโs the only gift theyโll receive this holiday season. The neediest students, selected by the teachers, also receive a bag full of toiletries to take home for their family. โ
โ
Seeing their smiles as they got to see Santa, enjoy a delicious lunch, and open their gifts is something that brought tears to our eyes. ๐โ
โ
Over 100 gifts collected from some of our Lemon Giving Trees were donated to this event and we canโt wait to do even more for this AMAZING event again next year! ๐
Because of your incredible generosity on Giving Tuesday, we were able to provide 75 patients at Cincinnati Childrenโs Hospital Medical Center with Christmas bundles!! ๐ These bundles are valued at $50 each and are filled to the brim with age specific books, toys, games and activities! We can only imagine their excitement when they wake up on Christmas morning to a Christmas delivery just for them! ๐๐
This year, we decided to extend our Payton's Lemonade Stand Holiday Lemon Giving Tree initiative to include more than just businesses! And, we had some pretty incredible families, and even the sweetest Girl Scout troop, who wanted to get involved! Thank you so much to #PatchutaStrong, the Lawrence and Schneider families, and to Saint Ignatius Troop 43395 for collecting over 100 gifts for kids facing hardships this holiday season! ๐
