This past summer, Sunkist invited kids 5-12 years old across America to Take a Stand for their favorite charity and design their own lemonade stand, integrating their personality, hometown and key elements about the charity of their choice.

Fans of the Sunkist Facebook page voted for the Take a Stand® kids' fun and creative lemonade stand designs in three rounds. All the entries were fantastic and Sunkist congratulates all who participated for raising money for charity one cup of Sunkist lemonade at a time! The first 50 eligible stands that posted to the page received a free T-shirt, and the three grand-prize winners received a $100 grocery gift card and matching funds for fresh lemonade stand sales up to $500 for the charity of their choice.
