Money Raised By Kids through Lemonade Stands Helps Give the Gift of Play to Kids in Need
NEW YORK, June 27, 2012 -- The Toy Industry Foundation (TIF) announced today the launch of a new program that provides a fun and engaging way for kids, communities and companies to make a stand – a lemonade stand, that will help give the gift of play to disadvantaged children around the country. "Make a Stand for Kids" is a new charity-based initiative that encourages young entrepreneurs to set up and run their own lemonade stand in support of the Toy Industry Foundation to distribute toys and make play possible for children in crisis or other stressful situations.
"There are millions of children around the country who don't get the opportunity to play," said Jean Butler, executive director of TIF. "Our 'Make a Stand for Kids' program empowers kids to help other kids by setting up their own lemonade stand. While running their own business children can also learn about the importance of charitable giving, giving back to others and helping those less fortunate."
