Anthem LemonAid
presented by Richmond Ford
Each summer, for over 26 years, families, businesses, schools and individuals raise money for unstoppable kids who are fighting cancer at CHoR by hosting lemonade stands in the community. This event has raised more than $2.5 million to support local families facing childhood cancer.
We look forward to the community joining us again in July 2027!

John, age 6
John has opinions about dinosaurs. The ankylosaurus, he'll tell you, is the best one — it isn't too vicious, but it can protect itself. He's six years old, lives in Ashland with his parents and three siblings, and lately he's been working on his ollie on his backyard skateboard ramp. He landed it recently. Not bad for a kid who, less than three years ago, was so weak he could barely walk.
