Dear Lulu;
It’s your cousins, Brynn and Madison up in snowy Canada. It’s too cold for lemonade!  Tell your LemonAID Warriors about our Crazy Couzin’s Cookie Campaign. Madison did it last year and raised a lot of money for Angiosarcoma Awareness. It’s a fund raiser us norther kids can do while we wait for the sun to shine.

Dear Maddie and Brynn,
Great idea! Here is a step by step breakdown of the fund raiser, complete with recipes.  Perfect for LemonAID Warriors who live in every climate!

Day One:

1. Bake 3 different, simple goodies. For example, Simple ShortbreadHoliday Bark, andChocolate Chip cookies. Cut them up in small sample sizes.

2. Make an Order Form: Get Sample Here!

3. Call every one you know to take orders. Then, go door to door to friends and neighbors that you know. No strangers. Offer the a sample. Take their orders. Tell them your delivery date and time. Give them information on your charity.

Day Two. 

1.Wrap up each order in something festive.

2. Include a thank you note, and information on the charity you are helping.

3. Deliver the goodies and collect the money.

4. Send the money to your charity! Here’s Maddison’s charity if you want to donate:  http://angiosarcomaawareness.org/ in honor of  Robyn Pascaris.

PS…

Here’s a picture to remind you that…the sun will shine!  Only 6 more months to go!!!!

How can you add a LemonAID twist to a canned food drive? Try our Boys Vs Girls Can Carnival Competition! Check out my LemonAID Warriors on the TV show, Young Icons, to see how I collected over 400 cans after school one day!

The Plan:  Invite Kindergarten through 3rd grade classes. Admission price: 10 cans. Set up wacky carnival games that use cans. Win tickets for the cans you bring and the games you win. Count total tickets for boy’s team and girl’s team and announce the winner!  Sell snacks for your charity.
Here are the games we played…

Tin Tower Toppler: You have 60 seconds to stack 15 cans

CANon Ball Toss: Set up cans in a pyramid and knock them down with a tennis ball

Tin Can Shooting Shed: Line up empty cans and shoot them down with a Nerf gun

Bowling for Soup: The cans are the pins. A basket ball is your bowling ball!

Tin Can Stilt Maze: Make tin can stilts. Draw a chalk maze. Finish it in 60 seconds.

Can Can Competition: Play Can Can music. You have 45 seconds to put on a crazy costume and do as many can-can kicks as you can.

See this PhilanthroParty in action on the tv show YOUNG ICONS!
