UPDATE: Success for #KidsTakeAStand near Lincoln Park

2:02 PM: Just checked in on yet another event we previewed in today’s highlight list – the #KidsTakeAStand lemonade stand near Lincoln Park, at 46th/Rose. They told us they’d served more than 600 people as of a short time ago (the area of course is full of families today, headed to and from the “Sesame Street” event in the park). It’s part of a nationwide movement raising money to help refugee/immigrant families at the southern border. The stand will be there until about 3 pm.

9:37 PM: Sarah notes in comments that it was actually $600+ when we stopped by (not 600+ people), and by the time they were done, that was up to $1,000+ raised.

    If anyone wants to create their own stand tomorrow or donate to the “virtual lemonade stand” please find info at link below: https://www.lawyermomsfoundation.org/lemonadestands These stands are taking place all over the country this weekend sponsored by Lawyer Moms of America, an organization that was started by co-founder moms  in Seattle. Last year $40K was raised with all proceeds going to non-profits that provide legal and other resources for migrant families at our southern border. Genius family who thought to put one next to Sesame Street event. Great job!

    Oops, we had $600+ when WSB visited, not necessarily 600 people. But it was a busy day! We’re at $1000 raised right now. Thanks to all who supported through donations or just car honks, thumbs up, etc.

      Will add the update. Thank you.

    “The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
    The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
    The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
    And a little child shall lead them.”
    Isaiah 11:6
