Needham Residents to Sell Lemonade in Support of Alzheimer's

In conjunction with the Alzheimer’s Association, Needham residents will be teaming up Saturday to sell lemonade, in an effort to raise awareness and money to fight the disease.

Suzanne Lissy and Margie Levin will be overseeing 24 lemonade stands around the town, officially kicking off the summer season in support of a wonderful cause. All of the proceeds from their sales will be donated to the Association.

Lissy and Levin are participating in the event as part of the Association’s annual “Longest Day” initiative. It’s an event that encourages people to do something they enjoy from sunrise to sunset, symbolically indicating for people who suffer from Alzheimer’s, everyday can seem like an eternity.

Lissy and Levin say they decided to sell lemonade based on their slogan, “When life gives you Alzheimer’s, make lemonade.”

The lemonade stands will run from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m.
