Because childhood should taste like lemonade—not chemotherapy.
This movement began in memory of Shir, a spirited little boy who passed away from neuroblastoma before his 3rd birthday. Every summer for his birthday on August 23, his family and friends honor his memory with lemonade stands that raise money and awareness.
Join the global day of celebration and action for Shir’s 6th birthday on August 23, 2025 - host a lemonade stand in your community or online!
Can’t make it? You can join in—anytime, from anywhere—to honor your child, a loved one, or simply to stand for hope.
