In seven years, the Huscroft family of Kent has raised more than $100,000 for childhood cancer research simply by selling lemonade.
Saturday the Huscrofts will hold their annual Alex's Lemonade Stand fundraiser at 650 Beechmont Place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
The stand is part of the national fundraising effort established in 2004 by 8-year-old Alex Scott, who sought to raise money for research for cancers that effected herself and other children. The event is held nationwide each year on the same June weekend by volunteers.
In addition to the Kent stands there are several other local stands in Fairlawn and Stow and one in Dunwoody, GA.
The Williams, Welser Kratcoski and Can law firm also will be hosting a stand in downtown Kent near HomeTown Bank Plaza Saturday during the Grill for Good.
The Kent stands and their addresses are:
- Huscroft Grand Stand, 650 Beechmont Place, 11-2pm
