Looking for a fun, meaningful way to keep your kids engaged this summer? Young-Williams Animal Center is inviting families across East Tennessee to become heroes for local pets through Lemonade for Lifesavers.

By hosting a simple lemonade stand, young animal lovers can raise funds that help provide food, medical care, shelter, and second chances for pets right here in our community. Even better, the top fundraiser will earn a special behind-the-scenes tour of Young-Williams Animal Center!

How It Works

Getting involved is easy:

1. Download the free Lemonade for Lifesavers Starter Kit.
2. Set up a lemonade stand between June 9 and August 3.
3. Donate your proceeds to Young-Williams Animal Center online or in person.
4. Share photos of your stand on social media using #LemonadeForLifesavers and tag @ywacpets.

Whether you’re setting up in your neighborhood, at a community event, or during a family gathering, every cup sold helps local pets get the care they need while they wait for loving homes.

Every Dollar Makes a Difference

Funds raised through Lemonade for Lifesavers directly support programs and services that help thousands of pets across East Tennessee each year. Did you know?

🍋 $60 can provide 1 spay/neuter surgery
🍋 $100 can provide 10 microchips
🍋 $300 can provide 8 full days of care

Every donation helps provide comfort, medical care, and hope to animals in need.

Make Your Stand Stand Out

The Lemonade for Lifesavers Starter Kit includes everything you need to get started, including a fundraising tracker and a kid-friendly lemonade recipe.

Want to make your stand extra special? Decorate with colorful signs, offer fun lemonade flavors or garnishes, and invite friends, family, and neighbors to stop by for a refreshing treat.

Along the way, kids will build valuable skills like teamwork, goal-setting, creativity, and community involvement—all while making a real difference for local animals.
