When life hands out lemons, girls make lemonade

Little entrepreneurs Leila Holben and Darcy Wallace, both 9, decided they would start a lemonade stand to serve residents at Bethanie Elanora aged care facility during the summer holidays.

In just four hours, the girls managed to raise a total of $88.25, all of which they kindly donated to Cancer Council WA instead of keeping it for pocket money.Bethanie Elanora resident and Darcy’s nanna, Lyn Sharman said the girls worked tirelessly serving lemonade to everyone and were not shy in asking for donations.

“Their business even attracted neighbours from down the street,” Ms Sharman said.

Regional Education officer for Cancer Council WA South West, Dianne Pope said the girls had shown terrific initiative in raising the money.

“Generous donations and fundraising like this contributes to the continuation of activities such as exercise, tai chi, massage, facials and yoga for those affected by cancer,” Ms Pope said.
