MLK Day 2010 ~ LemonAIDFrequently Asked Questions

  • Do I have to register on the Team Kids website AND through Disney’s “Give a Day Get A Day” website to be eligible to get a free ticket to Disneyland for my service?
    YES. Follow the instructions on www.teamkids.org Please note that Team Kids needs to know when and where your stand is located and names of all participants. The Disney registration is a multi-step process; please follow all instructions on Disney’s website too.
  • How do I choose a location for my LemonAID Stand?
    Think of a location with lots of foot traffic. Perhaps you can get permission to host stand in front of a store, church, at a soccer game, or in a busy neighborhood.
  • Where do I get the lemonade?
    You can purchase items you need to make lemonade, or ask a business to donate lemonade and/or other items to sell. You may choose to reimburse yourself for the cost of items purchased before turning in your proceeds, or just include those expenses as part of your donation.
  • Can I sell other things besides lemonade?
    Absolutely, use your imagination! A few other ideas to sell are baked goods, toys, books, in the past, some kids have even sold their own artwork at their LemonAID stands. Please share your creative ideas with us!
  • Do you have any posters or materials I can use to advertise my stand?
    You can print the sign posted on teamkids.org, and/or make your own signs to attract customers.
  • How long does my LemonAID stand need to last in order for my service to count for Disney’s “Give A Day, Get A Day” promotion?
    Team Kids expects that your entire project will take approximately 6 hours. This includes the time it takes to plan, prepare items to sell, set up, run your stand, turn in your proceeds at Irvine’s City Hall on Monday afternoon, and participate in the celebration.

  • Where do the LemonAID stand proceeds go?
    100% of the proceeds from Team Kids Lemon Aid stands will honor Dr. King’s teachings of equality and nonviolence by benefiting the Orange County Human Relations Youth Programs. The OC Human Relations Council is a non-profit agency whose mission is to foster mutual understanding among residents and eliminate prejudice, intolerance and discrimination in order to make Orange County a better place for all people to live, work and do business.
