Big Hearts. Big Goal. Big Impact. 🍋

In 2025, John Henry Hamlin, Keaton States, and Jack Silcox set up a simple lemonade stand in honor of their best buddy Tripp Poats (Ambassador of the Life Ring Foundation)—and turned it into something powerful. Together, they raised $449 for Life Ring's Fighting Kids Cancer mission, proving that anyone, at any age, can make a real difference.

This year, they’re dreaming even bigger. With determination, heart, and a whole lot of lemonade, they’ve set a goal to raise $10,000 to support kids in Southwest Virginia battling pediatric cancer and blood disorders. They have already had their first lemonade stand in June raising over $6,000!

July 12, 2026 - Time TBD
Location: Fork in the Alley 

Every cup poured is more than just lemonade—it’s hope. It’s support. It’s a step toward ensuring more local families can access lifesaving care close to home. Join these incredible young leaders in making an impact. Because big change can start small—and sometimes, it starts with a lemonade stand.
