9th Annual Party With A Purpose/Doors Open 5:30PM

On Saturday, May 4th, the McKenna Claire Foundation will pull together an amazing community of friends, associates and business partners and host the 9th Annual Party With A Purpose – 1 Night of Peace, Love & Hope. Our goal is to raise funds for pediatric brain cancer research and highlight the ongoing research being done to the benefit of children and families who continue to fight the pediatric cancer battle.

This year’s 50th Anniversary of Woodstock themed event will again be hosted at the Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort and includes great food, drinks, guest speakers and the always amazing silent and live auctions. Get ready to once again dance the night away with Flash Back Heart Attack. We hope you will make plans to join us for this annual McKenna Claire Foundation highlight.

The Hilton Waterfront Beach Resort has generously set aside a limited number of discounted rooms for friends of MCF and this year’s 9th Annual Party With A Purpose. The hotel is expecting to sell rooms out this weekend and encourages any takers to book early. Please contact the Waterfront Beach Resort directly at 800-822-7873 and use McKenna Claire Foundation as your special rate code or book directly online with the link below.

McKenna and her friends loved to hold lemonade stands on our street corner to raise money for various causes they believed in.   To celebrate McKenna’s birthday (August 5th) and pay forward that sense of community, we are inviting kids near and far to hold their own stands in support of pediatric brain cancer research.   The simple act of kids pouring their hearts into a cause is not only fun, but shows our youth that they have the power to change the world one glass of lemonade at a time.

To date, the kids of Stand Up & Shine have raised over 120,000 for pediatric brain cancer research.

Knowing summer is filled with family adventure, camps, and commitments, we invite this years MCF Stand Up and Shine kids to hold their lemonade stands as their schedules permit any time in August.   We can’t wait to see the energy and creativity of this years participants.   Thank you for choosing to be part of the pediatric brain cancer solution.

Registration is FREE –  Click Here to register your stand!

We have lots of tips, ideas and even downloadable logos, graphics and forms to help you create your very special lemonade stand!
