I just got an email telling me about this great program sponsored by Electrolux and I thought I'd pass it along to everyone. I'm going to cut and paste it so I get all the information correct. This is a fun and easy way we can all help with this! Please pass it along!

"Lemonade stands practically epitomize summer. I remember, years ago, setting up a makeshift stand at the end of my driveway and selling lemonade to friends and family - for only 10 cents! And, of course, much more recently, I can recall afternoons spent squeezing lemons, scooping sugar, chilling big pitchers of lemonade in our fridge, and helping my own two kids set up shop to sell cold drinks to our neighbors and other passersby. (Of course, by then, prices had gone up rather dramatically!)

Just in time for the warm weather, Electrolux and Kelly Ripa are kicking off their Virtual Lemonade Stand campaign to drive awareness and raise funds for Ovarian Cancer Research. Starting this month, you can visit electroluxappliances.com to design and open your own virtual lemonade stand and even pick the flavors of lemonade you want to feature at your stand, from Sparkling Ginger to Rosemary Watermelon.

For every stand opened, Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). In addition, you can help the cause even more by buying and sending virtual glasses of lemonade to your friends and family, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting OCRF. This is a great way to celebrate the beginning of summer, let friends know you're thinking of them, and support a great cause. Even better, just for opening your stand, and then again every day that you log in and visit your stand, you will be entered to win a new French Door Refrigerator from Electrolux - perfect for storing your own pitchers of lemonade. When others donate to your stand, they will also have a chance to win. "
