RICHMOND, Va. -- Anthem LemonAid, which continues through Sunday, July 21, has been raising money to help children fight cancer at Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU since 2000.

Stands are hosted by families and organizations all over the city. Your donation (in any amount) will earn you a refreshing glass of lemonade and will help kids right here in Richmond. (Click here to find a stand near you.)

The local food scene is also involved! Check out the Anthem LemonAid Restaurant Challengesponsored by CBS 6 for a list of area restaurants donating a portion of their sales to the cause.

Last summer, more than 250 stands raised more than $200,000. Anthem LemonAid has raised more than $1.1 million to fight pediatric cancer in Central Virginia over the last 23 years.

Anthem LemonAid is made possible by generous community members and sponsors: Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield, Richmond Ford, WTVR CBS 6 and Richmond Family Magazine.

This campaign is a CBS 6 initiative in collaboration with the Scripps Howard Fund, a 501(c)(3) organization. Contributions to this campaign will be used to support the local Richmond area and are tax deductible.
