NORFOLK, Va. — The annual CHKD Anthem LemonAid fundraiser is going virtual for 2020 due to the coronavirus pandemic. And this year, CHKD is challenging the public to different lemon-themed activities to raise money for children with cancer.
Normally people would set up lemonade stands in their neighborhoods and sell cups of lemonade for a dollar, but this year there are four family-friendly activities people can participate in.
The "Lemon Suck" Challenge:
Participants are encouraged to record themselves biting a lemon and share the photos/videos on their social media and fundraising page with their fundraising link and the hashtag #CHKDsqueezetheday, plus invite friends and family to join in on the fun! This challenge will take place on July 17 to August 15.
The "Kick-out Cancer Lemon Sports" Challenge:
Participants are encouraged to creatively incorporate a lemon with a sports activity, and share the photos/videos on their social media and fundraising page with their fundraising link and the hashtag #CHKDsqueezetheday. Entries are due by 12 p.m. on July 31.
"Stir Up a Cure Baking Lemon" Challenge:
Participants are encouraged to creatively incorporate a lemon into a food dish, and share the photos/videos on their social media and fundraising page with their fundraising link and the hashtag #CHKDsqueezetheday. Entries are due by 12 p.m. on August 7.
Lastly, the "Paint Away Cancer Lemon Art" Challenge:
Create a lemon into a piece of art and share the photos/videos on their social media and fundraising page with their fundraising link and the hashtag #CHKDsqueezetheday. Entries are due by 12 p.m. on August 14.
All proceeds still go to the hospital and any money you raise should be submitted through your virtual fundraising page.
