Lily's Lemonade Stand 2026

Lily hosts the lemonade stand each year to raise money for the Cancer and Blood Diseases Institute at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Why is this so important to Lily? This is why. Lily was diagnosed with brain cancer when she was two and had a recurrence when she was three. At the age of two she had a craniotomy followed by three rounds of moderate dose chemotherapy and three rounds of high dose chemotherapy. She spent many days and nights at Cincinnati Children's Hospital during this time. Unfortunately, when Lily was three an MRI showed that the caner had returned. She had a second craniotomy and then 31 proton radiation treatments. Lily wants to give back to the hospital that saved her life and also to help other children with cancer.
