Why Research?

Children are suffering

Watching children suffer through toxic chemotherapy and radiation in order to have a fighting chance at growing up is not the path we should continue on. We have to find a better cure.

Limited Options

Only 3 new treatments have been developed specifically for pediatric cancers since 1980. Children deserve to THRIVE, not just survive. If any child is running out of treatment options, we are failing.

Toxic Treatments

These outdated toxic treatments are very devastating, causing severe physical and emotional side effects for these children and their families

Long-Term Effects

Over 2/3 of childhood cancer survivors will suffer from chronic health problems for the rest of their lives, including possible infertility, heart damage, chronic pain and more

More Than Four

The National Cancer Institute deems childhood cancer research “rare” and gives research a mere 3.8% of the annual budget. Treatment advancement has been relatively stagnant for decades – these children deserve more forward progress.

Every 3 minutes

Worldwide, a child is diagnosed with cancer every three minutes. That’s more than 300,000 children a year

43 children, every day

Every day, 43 children in the United States are diagnosed with cancer. 20% of those children will not survive it

#1 Cause of Death

1,800 children die from cancer each year in the US. It remains the leading cause of death by disease for children

How it Works

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 windowno 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.
