As a child I was always in and out of the hospital for my own disability, Crohn’s Disease. I remember sharing rooms for months with the sweetest kids ever. Some of who had cancer. Since that time in my life I always knew the importance of giving back and I wanted to do my part. Either by volunteering my time at the hospital or I would save up my allowance and donate it to causes that mattered to me the most. Till this day I still have the same perspective and although I am now much busier than before I still love donating and teaching my girls about the importance of these foundations.
This is why I absolutely love Applebee’s! Not only do I love them for their delicious food, but I also love that they support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Now through Sunday, August 11, Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar is teaming up with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation to take a stand against childhood cancers in a month-long fundraising campaign. Since 2005, Applebee’s restaurants have raised more than $8 million to fund childhood cancer research. Learn more about Applebee’s and their support for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation here.
Thisyear, Applebee’s hopes to hit a grand total of $10 million raised as theystrive to make a difference in neighborhoods across the country. This is such a great way to give back to such an amazing cause and also enjoy a good time while eating out. It is super easy to support this foundation by simply purchasing a lemon-shaped pin-up card in $1 and $5 increments or you can purchase a Lemonade Quencher, Rainbow Lemonade or regular lemonade. We ordered Rainbow lemonades and trust me, they were delicious! We also bought a few of the Lemon Shaped pin up cards and got to write our names on it. The girls enjoyed doing that!
If you are unable to make it in, no worries my friends! You can still contribute by visiting Applebees.com/AlexsLemonade to learn about additional ways to join in the fundraising efforts. There is absolutely no better feeling in the world than donating to a cause like this and also to be able to teach my girls at such a young age to give back.
Thank you for alerting us to this amazing campaign! I love that Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill + Bar is so community-based. I will be at my local restaurant this week to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. For sure. Feel well!
I love supporting organisations or companies that give back and Applebee is doing such a wonderful job supporting Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation!
Wow, this looks absolutely fun and a great way for the kids to enjoy a nice summer meal! What a great campaign -Sondra Barker @cuisineandtravel.com
You are teaching your girls such a wonderful lesson in giving. What a great campaign.
How nice to be able to pay it forward like this. I hadn’t heard about this before, and it would be nice to do with my girls too.
I hope Applebee’s hit its goal of $10 million and make a difference in the neighborhoos across the country.
I love Applebees and now I love them even more. Hopefully they’ll reach their goal and I’m fixing to head over to see if I can help them do so.
That sounds like a great campaign, love it when companies support local charities
I have never heard of this program, but I love it! Just another reason to love Applebees!
This is a wonderful cause. I remember going once to Applebees when in the US, it’s was great!
What a great initiative! Thank you for sharing this with us…I think it’s wonderful of Applebees to be doing this!
I really love it when businesses do great things like this. Makes me want to go to Applebee’s now!
