PUTTING THE AID IN LEMONADE

As one of the owners of Evergreen Labs, I wanted to share some personal news with our Wine Away family about my daughter. This past May, our daughter was diagnosed with Juvenile Arthritis in 5+ of her joints by Seattle Children's Hospital.

In an effort to increase awareness about Juvenile Arthritis, our brave daughter will be hosting a Lemonade Stand on July 13th to raise money for the Arthritis Foundation’s Juvenile Arthritis camp called KAT-FISH (Kids And Teens’ Families Investing Support and Hope).

All money earned from the Lemonade Sales will be donated to the KAT-FISH Camp, an annual Juvenile Arthritis Retreat held in Stanwood, Washington.

ALLISON HOPES TO RAISE $1000 FOR THE KAT-FISH CAMP!

Arthritis is often thought of as an older person’s disease, something Grandma and Grandpa might complain about. However, nearly 300,000 children in the United States have juvenile arthritis making it one of the most common childhood diseases in the U.S..

So, if you live in Walla Walla we would love to see you on July 13th!

Allison's Lemonade Stand will be located at Walla Walla Builders Supply (her dad's business), 607 West Tietan Street, on Wednesday, July 13, from noon – 3 p.m.

For more information or to make a donation contact Staci Wanichek at: staci@my180.net
