As a four-year-old, Nevaeh Denine wanted to help the families of other pediatric cancer patients like her. With the help of her mother, Holly, the first Nevaeh’s Lemonade Stand was organized in 2014. This annual, family-friendly event and successful fundraiser helps alleviate the financial stress that cancer treatments can bring. Along with the registered charity Nevaeh’s Angel Foundation, its mission continues to inspire others in the community and beyond, and keeps Nevaeh’s legacy alive.
