Team Fox Summer Stand

Funds Raised: $540

Why Team Fox: To show support for our uncle, John Ryan, who has Parkinson’s and runs marathons to raise funds with Team Fox.

Why a lemonade stand: We have had success with lemonade stands in the past and chose to also make crafts to help bring in more money.

Greatest challenge: Getting customers to come to our stand. But we did have one guy who donated $100 and then came back to donate another $100!

Greatest reward: Showing others that we are good citizens and that we will never give up on finding a cure.

What’s next: We want to continue raising money for Parkinson’s by selling our arts and crafts.

How we think/able: By believing we can find a cure!
