Hey foodie friends! Hope you’ve been enjoying summer fun in the Glens Falls area. We certainly have. Food, friends and lots of fun for all so far!
You may have noticed that I have mentioned Goodies For Gold a few times this summer.
This past Saturday I had a chance to attend and spend some time with my friends the Dawes family and experience for myself what a cool thing it is that this family is doing to raise money and awareness for childhood cancer.
All the proceeds from their lemonade stand are being donated to Relay For Life. Do you have a spare $1 and a minute to stop by and help them reach their goal of $500 by end of summer? You’ll meet some great people and leave feeling GREAT!
This is Charlotte. She looks so happy because she is! To celebrate her 4 year anniversary of being cancer FREE, this beautiful young lady and her family decided to do a lemonade stand at her grandparent’s home on the corner of Davis St. and Grant Ave. in Glens Falls, NY to raise funds and give back to those who helped them win their battle.
Goodies For Gold is about a family expressing their love and gratitude to those who were there for them when they needed it most. It’s a celebration of victory for Charlotte and hope for those who continue to FIGHT the good fight!
Have some lemonade, delicious homemade sweets and a nice chat with some terrific people.
Miss Charlotte is so close to reaching her goal of earning $500 to donate to Relay For LIfe! How cool would it be to be the person to hand her that $1 that puts her over the top? It’s not tough to do. Stop by between 2:00 and 4:00 on Saturday and grab a snack. I did and it was a wonderful time!
The Glens Falls community has been amazing! I loved watching people of all ages stop in their tracks to offer support.
There are only 2 Saturdays left in August. Stop by and help the Dawes family reach their goal! Charlotte, Lucy, JoAnn and Toby have dedicated their summer Saturdays and more to make this happen. BIG Glens Falls Gourmet KUDOS to you all!
