The award-winning Sunkist Take A Stand® campaign is back this summer with an exciting twist! Sunkist Growers is encouraging families across the country to host a fresh lemonade sale to raise money for a charity close to their hearts with help from free online tools and new special edition stands.

IT'S ALL ABOUT THE LEMONADE
Sunkist is offering recipe booklets featuring its signature Old-Fashioned lemonade recipe and multiple delicious variations including Orange Lemonade, Lemon-Limeade and Blueberry Lemon Spritzer online. These thirst-quenching recipes and more are available at www.sunkist.com/takeastand/recipes.

Online tools to prepare for a lemonade sale such as DIY lemonade stand instructions, poster, recipes, and pricing tracker are available for a free download at www.sunkist.com/TakeAStand. And because sometimes it's just more fun to have an "official" lemonade stand for selling, Sunkist is releasing new, limited edition 2012 stands that will spark creativity and help kids personalize their charitable giving efforts.

The freshly redesigned stands are one-piece, easy to assemble and each comes with a festive lemonade-themed sticker sheet. Kids can color the stickers with markers, add extra drawings and messages that highlight their personal cause and ultimately create a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, sure to grab the attention of the neighborhood.

In an effort to boost interest in fundraising for good causes, Sunkist will give away ten lemonade stands a weekly through August 28, 2012. Fans can enter to win by visiting www.Facebook.com/Sunkist and submitting the charity they would like to support.

Sunkist Take A Stand program has inspired more than 65,000 kids from every state in the U.S. to sign up to "take a stand" for charity. Open to budding philanthropists ages 7-12, the campaign has raised an estimated $3 million dollars for charity over the past nine years, one glass of fresh Sunkist® lemonade at a time.
