Hot Dog on a Stick(TM) Celebrates 70th Anniversary with Celebrity Lemonade Stomp-A-Thon for LLS

Hot Dog on a Stick is turning the big 7-0, and to celebrate its platinum anniversary, the beloved brand will host a celebrity Lemonade Stomp-A-Thon from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, April 21 at its original Muscle Beach location in Santa Monica to raise funds for The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS). Current and former Hotdoggers (employees), celebrities, VIPs, LLS honored heroes and the general public are invited to help Hot Dog on a Stick "Stomp Out Cancer" and reach its goal of raising $70,000 by continuously hand-stomping the brand's famous fresh lemonade for seven hours.

In addition to non-stop live lemonade stomping, the event will feature appearances from special guests, including Mario Lopez of Extra and Saved by the Bell fame, lemonade samples, and giveaways of one free stick item per customer. All information including donation and registration can be found at http://events.lls.org/pages/home/stompathon. You can register to stomp at the event, raise money to help fund lifesaving cancer research, or virtually stomp your support by making a onetime donation. Supporters are also encouraged to share information about the Stomp-A-Thon via their social media channels. An easy way to do this is by sharing and RSVPing to the Stomp-A-Thon Facebook event.

Hot Dog on a Stick was established in 1946 in Southern California and is operated by Global Franchise Group, LLC (GFG).
