Summer Community Service Project Update

Thank you to all the patients and staff who contributed to the summer community service project.  Our office collected $500, Brandon collected $400 from family members and Dr. Loftus matched with $900.  Our total donation to Alex's Lemonade Stand was $1800.00


 Summer Community Service Project: Alex's Lemonade Stand 

Dear patients and parents,

brandon and ameliaSeveral months ago, my 8 year old son Brandon and I went to lunch at Applebee’s. The kids’ menu that he received was devoted to the story of Alex’s Lemonade Stand. He was amazed how a 4 year old girl with cancer could raise over 1 million dollars for pediatric cancer research! Immediately, he wanted to host his own lemonade stand.

At that time, summer’s end was quickly approaching, and it was not a very appropriate time to have a lemonade stand. So, before we left the restaurant that day, I made a deal with Brandon. I told him that if he was really serious about hosting a lemonade stand, and donating all of the money, then he could host the stand at my office in the summer of 2008. And I also promised him that whatever donations he received at his stand, I would match with my own donation.

Now, to be honest with you, I thought that he would completely forget about the lemonade stand. It wasn’t that I didn’t want to have a lemonade stand at my office, but I wanted to make sure he was committed to the project. Well, Brandon certainly did not forget about it. About once a week for the last nine months he would mention how he was going to have the lemonade stand at the office.

So, summer is quickly approaching, and Brandon will host the stand at the office at various times throughout the summer. The dates and times are to be determined, and will likely be based on weather. After all, lemonade is very popular on hot days! So please be on the lookout for Brandon this summer, and I would greatly appreciate it if you would support his efforts. And yes, I will match his donations up to $1,000. All money received will be sent to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, which supports pediatric cancer research. To date, the foundation has raised over 18 million dollars! Thank you in advance for your support!

Sincerely,                                         
Brian Loftus


Brandon and Amelia

Rebecca Morris is 8 years old and in 2nd grade at Holy Family School. Rebecca wrote her first book, Zoo Farm, for the Nazareth Library Young Authors Contest when she was in kindergarten. She chose the topic for her second book, Going to the Orthodontist, as a way to share with others her excitement about one day getting braces. She is currently working on her first chapter book, My Amazing Family. Along with writing, Rebecca also enjoys reading, gymnastics, and playing piano. She lives in Forks Township with her parents, younger sister, and two little brothers.
