The fundraiser is in support of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a national pediatric cancer charity.

“You don’t know anything about it until it happens to you – it’s kind of a crash course,” Charlotte’s dad Kabe told A4 in 2021. “Alex’s Lemonade Stand was created by a girl who had neuroblastoma, like my daughter. Unfortunately, she didn’t make it.”

Harper and Charlotte’s lemonade stand will be located in front of Cherry Republic at the intersection of Main and Liberty.
