Raising Funds One Lemonade at a Time

Lemonade for Wishes

Jul 16, 2019 | 11:55 AM

Lemonade for Wishes takes place Thursday August 8^th from 11:00 a.m. until 2:00 p.m.

Businesses and organizations join in on this city wide Lemonade Stand Competition We currently have 8 wish children in the Prince Albert area.

Lemonade for Wishes was created by Make-A-Wish Saskatchewan in 2016 as a ‘just for fun’ event that allows our staff and some local businesses an opportunity to tap into their inner child and sell some lemonade.

The event was such a massive success that it became an annual fundraiser and has continued to grow in popularity.

All lemonade stands participating offer their lemonade by donation, and some choose to also include additional draws such as baked goods or a BBQ

• Teams can raise additional funds at their stand by collecting donations, having a bake sale or BBQ anything else that is legal and your imagination can come up with. These additional fundraising efforts will go towards your total.
