A neighborhood kids’ lemonade(柠檬水) stand raised more than $3, 500 for a children’s hospital this past weekend. About twelve kids in the neighborhood took part in the fundraiser(资金筹集活动) by selling lemonade and other foods all weekend.

Suzanne Miller started the lemonade stand more than 10 years ago when her kids were small. She’s been running in charity races for the hospital for years, and her kids wanted to help with her goal.

“The first year we did it together and we raised $220. And we thought that was amazing. Each year, it got bigger and bigger, more and more people knew us and we raised more and more money.” Miller said.

This year, Miller was occupied and didn’t have time, so she handed it off to her neighbor Leslie Rothan and Rothan’s three children. “The Lemonade Stand for the hospital that our neighbors hosted this weekend raised $3,515. And they gave it to my run goal. I can not find the words to tell you how I feel. It’s really great to celebrate this way,” Miller said.

“As a parent, it makes me really happy. It was their idea. I wanted to let them know that I agreed with them and encourage them to be as successful as possible. It really made them realize what they were doing. And this helped them know how that money could really help save children,” Rothan said.
