Honoring Lucy Donmoyer: A Community Effort
This past September, Alair Sanibel proudly joined the Fort Myers community for Pediatric Cancer Awareness and Support to honor the memory of Lucy Donmoyer. On Sunday, September 22nd, the Alair Sanibel team, along with friends and family members, set up our lemonade stand and volunteered time to make the event a success. The special event, Lucy’s Lemonade Stand, aimed to raise awareness and funds for Fourth and Gold, an organization dedicated to pediatric cancer research.
Recap of the Event and Ongoing Support
The event at The Edison was a wonderful success, thanks to the generous support from the Fort Myers community. The Alair Sanibel team, along with local friends and family, raised $3,250 for Fourth and Gold, ranking as the 4th highest total among 80 lemonade stands across the country.
Since Lucy’s diagnosis in 2020, Alair Sanibel has been dedicated to supporting her and her family. Over the past three years, we have participated in various fundraising activities, including last year’s lemonade stand, which raised $2,500 for this important cause. We’re grateful for the opportunity to be part of the community’s efforts in the fight against pediatric cancer and hope to continue contributing to this vital work.

September: Childhood Cancer Awareness Month
September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about pediatric cancer and the need for ongoing research and support. By supporting Lucy’s Lemonade Stand, we honor Lucy’s memory and contribute to the fight against pediatric cancer. The collective efforts during this month emphasize the importance of community involvement and the impact we can make together. Every dollar raised brings us closer to finding a cure, making events like Lucy’s Lemonade Stand crucial in the battle against pediatric cancer.
