🍋 SAVE THE DATE — Lemonade Stand Day 2026 🍋
On June 6, 2026, the Childhood Cancer Campaign will hold its 19th Annual Lemonade Stand Day to support local teen fighter Graeleigh Jensen of Manistee.
Graeleigh, 17, has been battling a rare stage 4 liver cancer called fibrolamellar since she was just 11 years old. Over the past seven years, she has endured major liver surgery, multiple lung surgeries, chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and countless trips for treatment. She is currently traveling bi-weekly to Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital in Grand Rapids as she continues her fight.
Despite everything, Graeleigh recently graduated from Manistee High School and is looking forward to a future beyond cancer.
Lemonade stands will be set up throughout Manistee and Mason counties by local kids, businesses, and community members to help support Graeleigh and her family with ongoing medical and travel expenses.
“We started Lemonade Stand Day in 2006 to provide a way for kids to help kids,” said Patricia Ezdebski, president of the Childhood Cancer Campaign. “It has shown all of us the power of community and the act of role modeling for our kids so they too can be a powerful force for change.”
