What
The third annual Good Lemonade Day is taking place in 2024 with a goal of raising money for JoeAnna’s House. Our vision is to have at least 100 lemonade stands all across BC on the same day!
This fundraising event would not be possible without the generous support of our Title Sponsor, Laing Service and Maintenance, in partnership with Prestige Hotels and Resorts.
Why
Helping others feels good.
And selling lemonade is FUN! By being a part of our lemonade community, you will be providing help and support for families who are needing to travel and be away from home while their loved one receives hospital care. JoeAnna’s House is a home-away-from-home located in Kelowna, and provides accommodation for families of patients who require treatment at Kelowna General Hospital.

When
Good Lemonade Day stands will all take place on the same day: Saturday, June 8, 2024 at various times throughout the day.
We are encouraging stands to be hosted anytime between 11am – 3pm and times of each stand will vary by location; some may only be open for a few hours within that timeframe.
