Pennies spent at a child’s lemonade stand can go a long way — not just for eight-year-old Jack Yeilding, but lots of other children who need miracles. Saturday, May 28 will be the fifth edition of Jack’s Lemonade Stand. The fundraiser that began as a simple driveway lemonade stand run by Jack, an Oakville boy with intractable epilepsy, has raised more than $225,000 for Toronto’s Hospital for Sick Children.

This year’s event promises to be as much fun as its predecessors with a special guest this year being a tiger.

Originally hosted at Jack’s home, the event has now moved to the park to accommodate all it has to offer. Read more...
