Dear Colleagues, 

[Apologies for cross-postings…] 

Please join schools around the world virtually TODAY Thursday May 22nd from 11am -12pm EDT for the MAGPI Alex's Virtual Lemonade Stand Wrap-Up Celebration event!! 12 schools from across the country and even as far as Taiwan will be connecting for our virtual project wrap-up of our two weeks selling lemonade and raising money and awareness to help end childhood cancers worldwide! 

For the past eight years, schools have been coming together through H.323 videoconference for this two-week service learning project to hold lemonade stands in their own communities. Together we have raised thousands of dollars each year and today we find out how much more students have raised during this unique two-week service learning project in their communities in 2014.

Schools and individuals anywhere in the world can join us remotely for the wrap-up celebration today via the free LIVE webstream. To view the live webstream simply go to: http://video.magpi.net and click on "Live Streams." And follow along on twitter using hashtag #avls2014, too. For more information about the project see

About Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is a national organization with Greater Philadelphia roots. The organization grew out of the front yard lemonade stand started by Alexandra “Alex” Scott, a pediatric cancer patient. In 2000, at the age of four, Alex opened her first annual lemonade stand with high hopes of raising money for pediatric cancer causes. Every year thereafter, Alex held an annual lemonade stand in her Pennsylvania front yard and inspired others to donate money to her cause. For more information: http://www.alexslemonade.org

When life gives you lemons, make lemonade!!
