Community beyond baseball

There is so much need in the world that often falls outside of traditional ministry opportunities. When my oldest son was 5 years old, we became involved with an excellent foundation that is truly making a difference in the lives of children fighting childhood cancer. For the past three years our friends, family and teammates have come together to host an annual Alex's Lemonade Stand event which gives the children in our community an opportunity to do something special and significant for other children fighting childhood cancer. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation raises money for childhood cancer research by holding lemonade stands in communities across the United States. Holding an Alex’s Lemonade Stand is an excellent way to teach kids about teamwork, respect, and having the courage to make a difference in the world. I firmly believe that each one of us can make a difference in the lives of children with cancer if given the opportunity and Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation makes this possible for children and adults everywhere. Raising money is a powerful way of fighting cancer and a simple way everyone can help. Together, we can be part of eradicating childhood cancer for good.
