More than 700 participants for 2026 Lemonade Stand Day in Edmonton
The money raised during the 13th annual Lemonade Stand Day will be used to buy NICView cameras for neonatal intensive care units across northern Alberta.
The 13th annual Lemonade Stand Day in Edmonton drew over 700 young entrepreneurs to raise funds for critical medical equipment. Proceeds from this year's event will be used to purchase NICView cameras for neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) across northern Alberta. These cameras enable parents and families to monitor their newborns in the NICU remotely, at any time, via any device with internet access.
Hannah Thoreson, a seasoned participant, has been selling lemonade since she was merely three years old. Now 13, she aspires to become a doctor, driven by her desire to continue aiding others beyond her current role. Thoreson was among the 725 stands spread across Edmonton that participated in the fundraising effort, which last year accumulated more than $533,000 in contributions.
Despite the lemonade stands being primarily a commercial venture, their impact extends far beyond mere sales. The event serves a noble cause, providing essential technology to support vulnerable newborns and their families. With the support of eager young entrepreneurs, the Stollery Children's Hospital continues to improve the quality of care for premature and critically ill infants in Edmonton.
