We have always been big Applebee's fans but even more so since they are big Alex's Lemonade Stand supporters! They are actually what sprung us into action last year to start our Alex's Lemonade Stand. We were eating at Applebee's last June and saw the kids menus had Alex's Lemonade Stand on them and then it hit me....That is what we can do!! We had been feeling like the Lord was laying it on our hearts to do something in the fight against childhood cancer but just didn't know what. I knew a little about Alex's Lemonade Stand from reading about it in the oncology clinic but just hadn't thought much about it since then. When you are there and going through the fight you don't have much time or energy to devote to much else. But now we do! Another big + for Apple Bee's in my book was when we asked if they might donate some of their cups for our Alex's Lemonade Stand and they sent us a ton! Probably enough to get us through this year's stand also! I just got this email from ALSF telling about Apple Bee's Million Dollar Mission and thought I would pass it along! If you get the chance, visit your neighborhood Apple Bee's and see how they are supporting Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation!!
P.S.
Also - Liz and Jay Scott (Alex's parents/head of the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation) will be on the CBS Early Show tomorow Thursday May, 15 to share their message and recruit volunteers for Lemonade Day's - June 5 & 6. You can tune in if you want. Our family will be working at the St. Joe Hy-Vee Alex's Lemonade Stand that weekend. There will be Alex's Lemonade Stands at every K.C. Metro area Hy-Vee store, St. Joe, Lawrence and Topeka. Just FYI!
Applebee’s is on a Million Dollar Mission to Raise Funds and Awareness!
Participating Applebee’s across the country are coming together to raise awareness and funds for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Over the past few years, participating Applebee’s have raised over $800,000 and this year they are determined to surpass the million dollar mark by making their fundraising efforts even bigger and better!
In an effort to raise awareness for Alex’s cause, all Applebee’s Restaurant from coast to coast, in partnership with Tropicana, are once again featuring an “Alex” themed kids activity book. The Applebee’s “Find the Fun: Alex’s Favorite Things” kids activity book and menu will share Alex’s story with millions of young visitors to Applebee’s from now until supplies run out.
In addition, participating restaurants in Pennsylvania, new Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Florida, Georgia, Alabama, Wisconsin, Iowa, and Illinois will be raising funds in a variety of exciting ways – including asking customers for donations, donating 25 cents from each lemonade sold in the restaurants, and a golf outing.
In an effort to encourage customers to donate and thank them for their generosity, some of the Applebees’ locations are offering $5 off future orders, entry in a drawing for Applebee’s for A Year, and are even giving away a new Volvo C30!
