A Rainy but Successful Lemonaide Day

It was a chilly May morning, but that didn't stop dozens of kids from setting up tables for Kids Helping Kids: Lemonaide Day on Saturday, May 13. Proceeds from the lemonade went to 6 different Alexandria non-profits, including two AMP programs: Space Of Her Own and Wright to Read.

On King Street, SOHO had its own stand set up, manned by SOHO Club mentees and mentors.  SOHO Club is made up of graduates of the SOHO 5th grade program, and creates events where girls continue to meet with their mentors and fellow SOHO girls.  These girls volunteered their Saturday in order to raise money for future SOHO girls' room makeovers, and to thank those who donated in the past and contributed to their own events and projects.  As the morning turned to afternoon, the sun came out and the day warmed up, bringing a bright end to a great day of kids going the extra mile.

Check out the SOHO Stand, and see more photos of stands from Lemonaide Day on the Kids Helping Kids Facebook.
