CALLING ALL YOUNG PEOPLE (18 and under) WITH A DREAM!
DO YOUR DREAM NOW! YOU DON'T HAVE TO WAIT!
What do we do? We are a safe, online fundraising platform for ages 18 and under or a virutal lemonade stand. On our site, you can create a virutal lemonade stand to help you raise money for your dream.
HOW TO PARTICIPATE:
What is your dream? What do you need to support it? How much funding do you think you need? What makes this dream something that others might want to support? In other words, what makes you passionate about it and why is it important to you? These are some good questions you want to have answers for as you start your virutal lemonade stand. On our site, it is FREE to create a virutal lemonade stand so there is no risk for trying!
Here are Some Examples For Which You May Want/Need to Raise Money:
