For the past 2 years, one of the "tribes" from the YMCA Adventure Princess program has put on an annual fund raiser for cancer. The Puma tribe collects money to support Alex's Lemonade Stand. Alex's Lemonade Stand was formed several years ago to help Alex battle cancer. Unfortunately Alex didn't survive. But through her efforts and this great charity, the survivor rate for children's cancer continues to improve.
Last year the Puma tribe also joined with the Tom Coughlin Jay Fund to jointly raise awareness and money to battle cancer. Once again this year, Alex's Lemonade Stand and Tom Coughlin Jay Fund are united by the Puma tribe and the YMCA Adventure Princess program.
Many local Jacksonville area Publix will help the YMCA in hosting the lemonade stand. This year's event is May 3rd and will be held from 2pm to 6pm. The Puma tribe will be at the CR 210 Publix. Hopefully you can make it out to help this great cause. And if you can't, any help that you can provide would be greatly appreciated. The Puma tribe has a web page that you can visit and securely contribute. http://www.firstgiving.com/lemonade4life
I hope to see you out on May 3rd. You might even get a chance to meet with the winning Super Bowl coach! You will defintely meet up with a great bunch of Adventure Princesses!
Both Alex's Lemonade Stand and Tom Coughlin Jay Fund are registered charities that you can deduct from your taxes.
