Save the Babies Lemonade Stand

This year, Grace's Lemonade Stand is going virtual! We're raising money to benefit Mercy Hospital Foundation Inc, (funds will be restricted to support the NICU) and any donation will help make an impact.  Due to COVID19, we will not be hosting an actual lemonade stand this year as usual but asking you to support us by raising a virtual glass!

Grace spent 6 weeks in the NICU when she was born two months premature following an emergency c-section. She was a mere 4lbs. 10oz. and couldn't maintain her own body temperature, breathe on her own or feed normally. Thanks to the expert help of the doctors and nurses, today Grace is a thriving high school student.

When she was six, Grace decided to start a lemonade stand to benefit the babies in the NICU and pay forward the care she received in her own small way. She raised $75 at her first lemonade stand and her donation turned into hundreds more when she was invited to be a speaker at the Mercy NICU Autumnal Gala that next year. Grace said, "If I can do it at 6, you can give too!"

Grace's Lemonade Stand (4th Grade)


Grace has shown that kids can make a difference and we are pleased to say that her lemonade stands have been increasing our donation amount each year. The last few years, we've been able to collectively give over $1,000.00.

Thanks in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to my daughter and our family.
