Redddddd Robinnnnnn yummmmmmmmmmmmm!. I have had that commercial stuck in my head for years now. Years. Red Robin was something I didn’t even know existed until I moved to Texas. I’m not quite sure why that is considering there are 500 restaurants across the U.S. and Canada. Maybe I live in a cave? Who knows. But Red Robin opened up way back in 1969 in Seattle, Washington. Anyhow… Red Robin is turning lemons into Freckled Lemonade on National Lemonade Day.
National Lemonade day is on Wednesday August 20th and on that day, Red Robin restaurants will host lemonade stands serving Freckled Lemonade samples to everyone that attends. They hope to collect donations to support Red Robin’s national charity called Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Anyone that donates $5 or more will receive a yellow bracelet to show their support towards the fight against childhood cancer.
I bet you’re thinking, um what is a “Freckled Lemonade”. Yea, I wasn’t sure either. A Freckled Lemonade is Strawberries and Minute Maid Lemonade. They give you as many refills as you want too!
If you’re unable to make it in on National Lemonade Day, no worries…you can still donate another way. You can purchase an Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation eGift Card. You could also purchase Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation inspired merchandise on the Red Robin’s website. Another way to donate is to visit AlexsLemonade.org and donate directly to the charity. Or purchase a Freckled Lemonade anytime you are at Red Robin! Also, during grand opening week at new Red Robin locations…ALL proceeds from Freckled Lemonade will be donated to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation!
It’s so wonderful to know that companies like Red Robin have helped keep Alex’s dream alive!
About Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation
- Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004).
- In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement dedicated to finding cures for all childhood cancers, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope.
- To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $80 million toward fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding over 450 pediatric cancer research projects nationally.

My thoughts are that donating proceeds to a charity for childhood cancer is a very worthwhile cause.
I think its a wonderful cause that really brings awareness!
The video makes me happy that Alex can be remembered in such a positive way.
I was really touched and moved from watching this video. Alex really has caused a movement and has raised so much money for children stricken with cancer. I what Red Robin is doing is awesome. I will get a freckled lemonade next time I am in Red Robin to help support this cause.
Sounds like an awesome charity!
Alex was a beautiful girl who made lemonade out of the lemons she was given

What a great and inspiring video, I love Alex’s lemonade stand idea to support good causes.
What an inspiration she was, to think of others while she was fighting cancer herself. This is a great cause and we plan to attend Red Robin on the 20th and purchase Freckled Lemonade to help.
Wow what an amazing family. You could see the pain and the happiness.
Visited the site and watched the video, I think it is terribly sad but a great cause.

I think it is really heartbreaking but a great cause to support.

Another reason to love RR. I love that there are 4 ways to contribute to Alex’s lemondae stand. I would love to try the freckled lemonade.
It’s amazing how a simple idea like a lemonade stand could blossom into such a huge fundraising event for a very deserving charity.
It sounds like a wonderful cause

A wonderful cause, and Red Robin is making it so easy for us all to participate.
It broke my heart to watch. I can’t stand to see little ones suffer. I’m glad that Red Robin is doing something to raise awareness and that they donate to such a worthy cause. Thank you!
This is a great cause.
I never knew they donated to fighting children’s cancer!
I like this fundraiser. It’s a clever take on the normal lemonade stand.
What a great cause! Childhood cancer is so rampant and its great to see a company giving back…their lemonade is great too!
I think it is great that Red Robin is helping to contribute to a wonderful charity. I wish they donated more than 10% from Freckled Lemonade, but 10% is still nice and I wish other restaurants would follow suit donating to charities.
Straight up, this is wonderful! I wish more messages could promote this online. I am glad you are sharing it here!
I’m a fan! Great cause!
It’s sad but a good cause to support. Also Red Robin has good food.
sad but good
i think it is such a great cause, i wish they donated all proceeds and not just a portion but can understand why they don’t.
I think the childhood cancer charity (Alex’s Lemonade stand) goes very well with the values and products of Red Robin. It’s a great fit.
Thats a great cause.
what a great charity!
So touching! Alex is touching so many lives even though she is not here. I think this is a wonderful cause and next time I’m at Red Robin I will be ordering a Freckled Lemonade in honor of Alex and the foundation.
It’s always wonderful to see a positive spin and good come from something sorrowful.
This is a terrific idea for Charity <3
I think we can all learn a lot from Alex. She had a such a generous heart for a 8 year old. I always get freckled lemonade at Red Robin and now I have even more reason to order it!
what a great way to raise money for charity . I know next time i go into red robin i will get their lemonade.
I’ve heard of Alex’s Lemonade Stand before and I think it’s wonderful that Red Robin supports this cause.
