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 $90,000 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.

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

On Saturday,  April 29th, the McKenna Claire Foundation pulled together an amazing community of friends, associates and business partners to hosted the 007th Annual Party With A Purpose.   The mission, 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 James Bond themed, the 007th Party With A Purpose – “A View To A Cure” was again hosted at the Huntington Beach Waterfront Beach Resort, merging the Bond elements of casino, fine food from Mama’s on 39, sophisticated drink from Four Sons Brewing and Ramspur Winery, music, dancing, and auctions.  It is with great pride we announce that $145,000 was raised at this years Party With A Purpose, with these funds being put to work immediately.   Thank you to everyone for being part of this annual McKenna Claire Foundation highlight.

The original Party With A Purpose (2011) was hosted by our local community on a neighborhood cul–de-sac to raise funds for McKenna’s treatment.   After McKenna’s passing, the community’s desire to be part of the pediatric brain cancer solution continued and the tradition of Party With a Purpose was born.  Proudly, in its first 7 years, Party With a Purpose has raised over $600,000 for pediatric brain cancer research.

Thank you for being part of the events success and legacy.
