LemonAid 2024
The Tradition Continues!
Come celebrate the 23nd 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.

Wonder Works Children’s Museum
Wonder Works Children's Museum in Oak Park, IL has 9 permanent experience zones, both indoors and outdoors, carefully curated for ages 0-8. Our mission is to spark curiosity and creativity in all young children through positive play-based learning experiences. Come play with us!
Collaboration for Early Childhood
The Collaboration for Early Childhood is the ultimate resource for families with children, birth to age five, and caregivers, educators, and health providers. We host kindergarten readiness events, an annual early childhood symposium, and coordinate vision, hearing, and developmental screening for little ones. We are the resource hub for all things a parent or child might need to be their best and we do this with our treasured connections with other organizations in our community.
