Monkey Joe's Raises Funds for Childhood Cancer Research
Children's Entertainment Center Partners with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for June Fundraiser
ATLANTA, May 31, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Monkey Joe’s, a children’s entertainment center filled with indoor jumps, slides and obstacle courses, announces its fourth year of partnership with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a nonprofit dedicated to finding cures for all kids with cancer. Throughout the month of June, all Monkey Joe’s locations will host lemonade stands, events and promotions to raise funds for ALSF, as well as donate a percentage of all June lemonade sales to the organization.
“According to the American Cancer Society, one in every 285 children will receive a cancer diagnosis by the age of 20,” explains Julie Arko, Corporate Marketing Manager at Monkey Joe’s. “Facing a childhood cancer diagnosis is a painful, difficult situation for a family to face. We hope this campaign will encourage parents and children to join Monkey Joe’s in building awareness and raising funds for a cause that affects so many lives.”
