CHARLOTTE, N.C., June 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Lemonade is
always a refreshing choice this time of year. It's even more
delicious when it's prepared with a special cause in mind. From
Friday, June 11 through Sunday, June 13, visit Firebirds Wood Fired
Grill and buy a cup of its freshly squeezed lemonade from the
old-fashioned lemonade stand outside and Firebirds will donate
all proceeds from the sale to finding a cure for childhood
cancer.
Firebirds marks its seventh year of participation in this annual
event, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation's (ALSF) national Lemonade
Days, by setting a fundraising goal of $150,000, with each of the restaurant's 52
locations in 19 states participating in the three-day event.
In addition to lemonade sales, Firebirds will donate
$2 from each purchase of Tito's
Lemonade Drop and $1 from each
purchase of its Big Daddy Lemon Cake during Lemonade Days. Guests
can also round up their check to the nearest dollar and ALSF will
receive the difference or make a donation to ALSF directly on their
receipt.
"Firebirds Wood Fired Grill is one of ALSF's most dedicated
partners, raising money year-round to help fund research and
treatments," said Liz Scott, ALSF's
co-executive director and mother to ALSF founder, Alex Scott. "We couldn't be prouder of its
executive team and all of its volunteers at every Firebirds
location across the country for their commitment to eradicate
childhood cancer."
"We value our relationship with ALSF and are committed to
helping support ALSF's efforts to find cures for childhood cancer,"
said Stephen Loftis, vice president
of marketing for Firebirds Wood Fired Grill. "That's why
we've set a goal this year to raise $150,000, and we look forward to exceeding that
goal…one cup at a time."
To date, Firebirds has raised $2.2
million for the national charity which is ranked a top
four-star non-profit organization by Charity Navigator, the leading
charity evaluator in America.
ALSF was born from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer
patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996 - 2004). In 2000, 4-year-old
Alex said she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to help find a cure
for all children with cancer. Since Alex's first stand, ALSF has
raised more than $200 million.
