Social Media Makes Lemonade from Stolen Stand

After I heard about Madison Lord’s lemonade stand’s cooler being stolen, I suggested to the kitestring team that we step up and help out. Turns out, some of our good friends also had the same idea! With the power of social media, we rallied our followers and the kitestringers came together with Mark Scutella (of Pinstripe Painting) to provide 10-year-old Madison with a brand new lemonade stand! I got to help paint it and everything!
The Cossart Exchange is also going to provide Madison with free entrepreneurship classes – she’ll be the youngest person to ever go through their program! Plus, she’ll get to sell lemonade for charity at the Ottawa Street Sew Hungry: Food Truck Rally! Tomorrow everyone is getting together at the kitestring studio to present Madison and her family with the new lemonade stand and the big news! There will be lemonade and cookies to celebrate! We’re so excited!
Wanna come?
Contact meg@kitestring.ca or margaret@kitestring.ca and let us know!
As a second year student in a local Advertising Diploma program, Ben is stoked about taking part in kitestring’s intern program. Instead of acting as a resident coffee slinger and errand gopher, Ben will be honing his skills while supporting the team. He’s enthusiastic about the creative industry and learning new things!
