Founded by Erin, Fourth & Gold officially became a 5013C non-profit organization in July 2022. Much of the team is lead by healthcare professionals that are on the frontlines of oncological practice, helping children and their families battle cancer everyday.
Each week, Fourth and Gold will highlight a cancer warrior that has bravely and fiercely stood strong against childhood cancer. At Fourth and Gold, we want you to see the faces behind our drive and connect with them in a way you wouldn’t have been able to if you didn’t take the stand to demand #MoreThan4! Our precious kids have cancer, but cancer is not who they are.

Week of April 21, 2018
Summer Worthington, diagnosed with stage Acute Myeloid Leukemia with RAM (an extremely rare phenotype) at 2 years of age
Current age: 3 (DOB 4/19/15)
Favorite Things: Summer loves many things, but sitting still is not one of them! She adores reading books, playing with stickers, being outside in the beautiful weather and dancing like nobody is watching!
Favorite Foods: Macaroni and cheese…. macaroni and cheese… macaroni and cheese.. 😉
If you know Summer, you know that she: Has the most beautiful, lasting smile that can change your day in an instant. Despite all she’s been through, she always seems to be happy.
What you cannot see here is that Summer:
Summer’s mom on what she wishes people understood about childhood cancer: “Childhood cancer is underfunded and NOT RARE”
Hardest part of having a child with cancer: “Helplessness. Helplessly watching them miss out on childhood and helplessly watching them in pain.”
If you’re interested in hosting a stand or sponsoring our campaign, reach out to us using this contact form, and a team member will contact you directly.
***This is not our sign up form to receive a kit and host a stand!***
If you’re looking to host your own Lucy’s Lemonade Stand, filling out the form does not sign you up! Once we receive your form submission, we’ll communicate with you directly and send you a link to sign up for your stand.
1.) If you are looking to host a stand during our September campaign, stand sign ups will run June 1 through June 30th every year. We’ll ask for the date(s) you plan to host your stand in September, as well as your location, so we can help promote it and drive traffic your way. In August, we’ll send out stand kits. If you’re local to Jacksonville, we’ll host a meetup where you can pick up your kit in person.
2.) If you are looking to host a stand during our September campaign but missed our sign-up window – no worries! We order extra kits every year, so reach out to us and we will do our best to accommodate you as supplies last.
3.) If you are looking to host a stand outside of our September campaign, that is a possibility as well, depending on the amount of extra supplies remaining. Please reach out to us anytime and we will do our best to provide you with everything you need to host a stand any time of year!
Each host receives a kit designed to make your experience easy and impactful, along with a PDF guide containing everything needed to host a successful – and fun – lemonade stand. Your kit will be packed with lemonade mix, cups, straws, signage, and more. Our goal is to equip you with everything you need to raise awareness and support for pediatric cancer research. All you need to do is set up, mix the lemonade, and help spread the word.
