Fighting Cancer a Cup at a Time
Make a pit stop for lemonade during lunchtime on Friday, March 8, at El Morro Elementary, and help perpetuate the mission of a 4-year-old Connecticut girl who died from cancer.
The stand is a product of El Morro’s Lemonade Business Club, led by English-language teacher Jenny Carlson, whose lesson plan is how to “make business with a difference”.
Its inspiration was Alex Scott, on a mission to raise enough money to cure childhood cancer. Since 2000, the foundation has since raised more than $60 million.
“We have studied fundraising, marketing, advertising, public relations, cost-benefit analysis, and even other companies that seek to make a difference,” said Carlson, adding that proceeds will go towards cancer research.
