Kick-Off Event - A Great Success!!

Today was our Kick-Off Virtual Spirt Festival Videoconference and it was a huge success! Many thanks to all those who participated! Our VJs, Anna and Jake, did a phenomenal job! It was great to hear about Alex from one of the people who knew her best - - her mom, Liz. The Whitehall High School band rocked the "Lemonade" song and we were completely amazed by everyone's Lemonade spirit! Watch the archived video of today's event!

Again, GREAT JOB Everyone! We're looking forward to a fantastic two weeks!

To what extent have Patrick, Eddie and Joe been involved in the foundation?

What a terrific opportunity to see so many schools working together for a great cause! Special thanks to Alex's mom Liz--our students at Phoenixville Area Middle School enjoyed your reading of Alex and the Amazing Lemonade Stand!

I am very impressed with the sensitivity and caring that the students at Penn Wynne are exhibiting. This is a truly worthwhile project. Thank you to Tom McGee and Ms. Lienert for all their work to support the students.

Hi Hilary,
The boys have been involved a great deal through the years. They attend many lemonade stands and events with us, but we also try to be sensitive to them when they have other things they want to do. I know they are proud of what Alex has started and I think they feel like they have been a part of continuing it. Our youngest, Joey, is still trying to figure the whole thing out, but he seems to understand it more each day. Thansk for asking!
