Old-Fashioned Lemonade Stand Contest Lets Kids Use Their

Creativity and Entrepreneurial Skills to Make and Sell Lemonade,

Help Charities and Win Top Prizes

This summer, California kids can use their creativity and entrepreneurial skills for a fun activity that encourages philanthropic awareness to win great prizes.

C&H Sugar, Sunkist Growers, Inc. and Radio Disney announce the "Make Your Lemonade Stand Out" contest for kids to design and set up neighborhood lemonade stands to make and sell lemonade, earn extra cash and help homeless animals at the San Francisco and Sacramento SPCA's (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals).

California kids can win prizes including free lemonade stand kits, (including a real cardboard lemonade stand, a C&H kid's "Squishy Cookie Cookbook," a "Radio Disney Jams" prize package or a grand prize trip for four to the best theme park in Anaheim, California).

Kids and parents should visit C&H's newly launched website, www.chsugar.com/lemonade to obtain contest details and download an official entry form. Kids can also download free lemonade stand materials; including a free lemonade stand banner, recipes and tips for setting up their lemonade stand. Kids can also purchase a pre-constructed four-foot cardboard lemonade stand.

To enter the contest, kids should set up their lemonade stand, using either materials available at www.chsugar.com/lemonade, or they can make a stand of their own design or construction. Kids are encouraged to be creative when decorating their stand. They can make simple lemonade and cookie recipes to sell at their stand. Kids or parent/guardian should take a photo of their lemonade stand (with at least one box or bag of C&H Sugar and four or more Sunkist lemons) and mail it in with an official entry form to "Make Your Lemonade Stand Out Contest," Torme & Company, 847 Sansome St., San Francisco, CA, 94111. Lemonade stands will be judged on visual appeal and creativity used to draw customers to lemonade stand and generate revenue/donations. The children with the most creative lemonade stands will win the grand prize trip for four to the best theme park in Anaheim, California or the first prize Radio Disney Jams prize package, which includes a mini boom box, cd, t-shirt and four tickets to a Radio Disney concert. The first 50 and 100 entries, respectively, will receive an early-bird entry prize of a free cardboard lemonade stand and kit or a Squishy Cookie Cookbook, containing kid-friendly cookie recipes. No photo is required and kids can enter the photo contest later.

Kids are encouraged to donate all or a portion of the money collected from lemonade stands to the San Francisco or Sacramento SPCA's, two non-profit organizations dedicated to protecting life, providing love and dedicated to saving homeless cats and dogs.

Promotions for the contest will run throughout the summer on Radio Disney AM 1310 (San Francisco) and AM 1470 (Sacramento). Kids can also pick up an entry form and win great prizes by bringing a UPC code from a five-pound bag of C&H Sugar to Radio Disney events on July 4th at the San Jose America Festival, Marin County Fair and Jack London Square.
