The Tradition Continues!

Come celebrate the 22nd Annual Bonnie Brae LemonAid Stand LIVE!

We’ll be back with lemonade, popcorn, photo booth, cotton candy, music, games and more! Twenty-two years ago it started. A simple lemonade stand on September 11. “Hey, neighbors, on this anniversary of a sad day, let’s do something good.” We’ve been “turning lemons into lemonade” since then and raised over half a million dollars for children’s charities in the River Forest and surrounding areas. Join us again LIVE this year on Bonnie Brae.
