Monkey Joe’s Continues Support to Non-Profit Funding Childhood Cancer Research
Children’s Entertainment Center Partners with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Annual June Fundraiser
ATLANTA–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Monkey Joe’s, an inflatable-filled children’s entertainment center of indoor jumps, obstacle courses and arcades, announces its sixth year of partnership with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a nonprofit dedicated to finding cures for all kids with cancer. Throughout the month of June, all Monkey Joe’s locations will host lemonade stands, events and promotions to raise funds for ALSF, as well as donate a percentage of all June lemonade sales to the organization.
“According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 10,500 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2021,” said Julie Arko, Director of Marketing at Monkey Joe’s. “For the past five years, Monkey Joe’s has partnered with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation in support of its mission to impact the lives of children with cancer, raise awareness, support families and empower everyone to help cure childhood cancer. After a challenging 2020 we are honored to be able to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for a sixth year, and hope this campaign encourages communities across the country to take a stand against childhood cancer.”
Monkey Joe’s Lemonade Stand
All Monkey Joe’s locations will host in-store lemonade stands to boost ALSF’s fundraising efforts during Alex’s Lemonade Days (Saturday, June 5 – Sunday, June 13), an initiative inviting supporters across the country to host lemonade stands during the nine-day period in an effort to raise $1 million for the cause. Customers can participate in a friendly competition by voting for their favorite lemonade stands on the Monkey Joe’s Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/monkeyjoes).
