Lemonade stand fundraiser brings in nearly $1,000

Last week, we asked for your help amplifying the impact of a lemonade stand fundraiser started by two sisters, Edith and Harriet. The girls gave their dad, Mike, $20.91 from their lemonade stand to donate to COH, and Mike kindly matched their gift. To show Edith and Harriet how one act of kindness can have a ripple effect on a whole community, we asked donors to match their $20.91 as well. We are so happy to report that Edith and Harriet's fundraiser grew to $893.93!
