As a way of making the most of (yet another) of his brother’s baseball tournament weekends, Jake decided to hold a lemonade stand at the baseball field to raise money to help animals. His mom Tammy agreed to match any money that he raised for PAWS. He sold lemonade, brownies, and GF blondies, and was able to sit and read his book (another of his favorite activities) while his brother played baseball and he waited for customers. He also took care of his neighbor’s hamsters to raise additional money.
Raising money for PAWS
Biggest Takeaway:
- Jake is just 7 years old. No matter our age, everyone can make a difference in the lives of animals!
Biggest Challenge
- It was awfully tempting to eat those goodies and drink that lemonade on hot days!
Project Impact:
- Jake’s mom works for the Gates Foundation, which matches donations 3:1. Between the lemonade stand, taking care of his neighbor’s hamsters, and Tammy’s employer’s generous matching gift program, Jake was able to raise $500 for PAWS!
