#LemonadeStandTogether
Hey, kids! JOIN US and support COVID-19 vaccines for global neighbours in lower income countries through the LOVE MY NEIGHBOUR project (LMN) in partnership with UNICEF Canada. Did you know less than 18% of the population in low-income countries is vaccinated against COVID-19? Every $2.50 raised covers the cost of delivering two doses to a global neighbour which may include: transportation, cold chain protection, healthcare worker training, community readiness and waste disposal! That’s a big impact!
Step 1
Get together with friends, a parent or grandparent to plan your lemonade stand. Select a sunny day and location with good visibility for your stand. Plan to have the following on hand: jug of lemonade, cups, table, container to collect funds for vaccines and hand sanitizer.
Step 2
Request the number of Love My Neighbour 1.25-inch buttons and postcards you want to make available to your lemonade customers by emailing the quantity, mailing address and contact name to sara@millenniumkids.ca (ED, Millennium Kids + Project Coordinator, Love My Neighbour).
Step 3
Make a sign for your Love My Neighbour ‘Lemonade Stand Together’.
Step 4
Be ready to explain the Love My Neighbour project to your customers using the paragraph at the top of this page. Check out our website for more info.
Step 5
Donate the vaccine funds you raise by making an online donation to Love My Neighbour’s UNICEF Canada fundraising page at https://fundraise.unicef.ca/lovemyneighbour/lemonade-stand-together using a credit card or mail a cheque to UNICEF Canada, Attn: Community, 90 Eglinton Ave E, Suite 400, Toronto, ON, M4P 2Y3 (marked for the Love My Neighbour Project—Lemonade Stand Together).
Step 6
Celebrate your fantastic efforts! Divide your total funds raised by $2.50 to discover how many global neighbours you helped access COVID-19 vaccines through UNICEF. Great job!! Now, challenge your friends and family to host their own Lemonade Stand Together to help the whole world access COVID-19 vaccines. Post a photo of your lemonade stand and tag @lovemyneighbourproject.
Let’s make sunny summer days count for global neighbours needing
a COVID-19 vaccine, with love!
