Thorn lemonade stand raises $46,000
BELLEAIR BLUFFS — The Thorn Collection Lemonade Stand annual fundraising event this year raised more than $46,000 during the one-day event, the company said. In the 12 years since the lemonade stand was created, the real estate company has raised more than $360,000 for the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
Held Oct. 16, this year marked the 12th anniversary for the Thorn Collection Lemonade Stand annual fundraising event to benefit the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
In 2014 — the first year of the event — Coldwell Banker Realty agent Martha Thorn and her team raised $3,000.
Thorn says she credits the event’s success on repeat customers, amazing clients as well as the community outreach they do by email, mail, social media and advertising. For the last five years, the team has also honored clients’ children who have battled cancer.
