Applebee's celebrates 21 years of partnering with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation to fight childhood cancer. The restaurant chain will donate 50 cents from the sale of each Strawberry Lemon Sunshine drink to the foundation, aiming to raise more than $18 million in total. Guests can also contribute by adding digital lemons to their order or purchasing Applebee's gift cards.
Applebee's has announced the launch of its annual fundraiser for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), marking 21 years of collaboration to fight childhood cancer. The restaurant chain will donate 50 cents from the sale of each NEW Strawberry Lemon Sunshine drink to ALSF, with the goal of raising more than $18 million in total [1].
The fundraiser, which runs until August 31, will also see Applebee's restaurants nationwide transform into "Lemonade Stands," inviting guests and neighbors to join the fight against childhood cancer. Since the partnership began in 2005, Applebee's has already raised over $18 million for ALSF, funding 360,000 hours of pediatric cancer research [1].
Guests can support ALSF through various means, including adding $1, $5, $10, or $20 Digital Lemons to their cart when ordering online or through the Applebee's mobile app, enjoying a NEW Strawberry Lemon Sunshine at a participating restaurant, or purchasing an Applebee's Gift Card with the "Donate Now" button [1].
Liz Scott, Co-Executive Director of ALSF, expressed gratitude for Applebee's continued partnership, stating, "Applebee's prominence and national reach have helped introduce countless people over the years to ALSF and raised more than $18 million in the fight against childhood cancer. We are truly grateful for their continued partnership to help find cures and support families during their child's treatment and beyond" [1].
Applebee's, known for its commitment to "Doin’ Good in the Neighborhood," has been instrumental in supporting various local and national causes, including raising funds for local charities, supporting military personnel, and providing meals to veterans [1].
