I’ll never forget my sisters and I setting up lemonade stands in the summer and selling Dixie cups of lemonade to the neighbors for 5 cents a cup. Oh sweet memories!

We lived in Texas until I was about 9 years old and summers in Texas are HOT! We’d spend all day outside at the neighborhood pool, climbing trees or catching frogs out of the meter boxes in the front yards of the neighborhood homes. No one minded, probably because it was too hot to step foot outside in order to tell us not to do it. Oh what fond memories!

Another fond memory, I’d like to say I’ve had, would be winning an Electrolux french door refrigerator! What a gorgeous piece of machinery! How would you like to try and win one too?

Just in time for the warm weather, Electrolux and Kelly Ripa are kicking off their Virtual Lemonade Stand campaign to drive awareness and raise funds for Ovarian Cancer Research. Starting this month, you can visit https://www.electroluxappliance.com/ to design and open your own virtual lemonade stand and even pick the flavors of lemonade you want to feature at your stand, from Sparkling Ginger to Rosemary Watermelon.

For every stand opened, Electrolux will donate $1 to the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF). In addition, you can help the cause even more by buying and sending virtual glasses of lemonade to your friends and family, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting OCRF. This is a great way to celebrate the beginning of summer, let friends know you’re thinking of them, and support a great cause. Even better, just for opening your stand, and then again every day that you log in and visit your stand, you will be entered to win a new French Door Refrigerator from Electrolux – perfect for storing your own pitchers of lemonade. When others donate to your stand, they will also have a chance to win.

The new French Door Refrigerator by Electrolux has some cool new features that make it a great refrigerator for entertaining. There is the Perfect Temp Drawer™, which provides storage for any number of items that you want to keep at the ideal temperature. It’s also a large enough refrigerator to store everything from party platters to juice boxes. The French Door Refrigerator also offers double the ice so there is always enough ice on hand to fill your pitchers of lemonade.
