A record $300,336 was raised during the 2026 Anthem LemonAid presented by Richmond Ford.

This year’s event brought together more than 300 stands, including more than 80 sponsored by businesses. Restaurants including Ford’s Garage, Gelati Celesti, Hardywood Park Craft Brewery and Click Wine Bar joined with special cause marketing events to support the cause.

Participant spotlight
One of this year’s standout success stories came from the second grade class of St. Catherine’s Lower School. They rallied behind classmate Charleigh Jones who was diagnosed with Ewing Sarcoma right before school ended. The close-knit classmates channeled their concern and love for their friend into action, raising nearly $35,000 in just a few weeks—and demonstrating just how powerful the act of giving can be.

Sponsors

CHoR is grateful to generous sponsors including Anthem, Richmond Ford, Everforth Apex Systems, Primrose Schools, Synergy Technical and Call Federal Credit Union.
Community partners
Community partners included FASTSIGNS, Worth Higgins & Associates, CBS6 and Richmond Family Magazine.

Thanks to the generosity and hard work of thousands, this community-driven initiative has now raised more than $2.5 million over 26 years to support hematology and oncology services at CHoR.
