Applebee’s, Corner Bakery Cafe and Its Neighborhoods Unite to Raise $1.6 Million for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation

This year participating Applebee’s restaurants donated 25 cents from every glass of lemonade sold to Alex’s. Guests who donated $5 toward the charity were entered in a contest to win free Applebee’s meals for a year. Local restaurants did their part by hosting various events, including in-restaurant lemonade stands, contests, carnivals and car washes. All the restaurants involved went above and beyond their set goals, including the Pottstown Applebee’s raising more than $18,000; Trexlertown raising more than $16,000; and Easton and Allentown raising more than $12,000. Local Corner Bakery Cafe restaurants have raised more than $1,000 each by selling $1 paper lemons over the five-week initiative. Additionally, both restaurants accepted donations from individuals who just wanted to help support the cause.
