Lemonade stand raised money for cancer charity
Published: August 27, 2007
A nine-year-old Columbia boy is donating more than $1,200 to breast cancer research.
Anthony Frederick set up a lemonade stand Saturday and quinched not only residents thirst but also his family’s desire to find a cure for cancer.
Frederick said he came up with the idea after his mom was diagnosed with breast cancer exactly one year ago today.
“I wanna find a cure for this disease so my mom won’t get sick again and my baby sister will be well and nobody else will have this disease,” Anthony said.
While mother, Dru Frederick, is feeling much better now, the day was still emotional for her.
“I feel great for the support we received from the community,” Dru said. “A lot of the people we didn’t even know in the community, and they were out here bright and early to purchase lemonade.”
The Frederick family said donations are still coming in and they’ve even been asked to set up a second lemonade stand at Fort Jackson in the coming weeks.
