Girls Raise Money for Animal Shelter Through Lemonade Stand

[joeybee12]

Two sisters went to visit their local animal shelter in Burbank along with many other residents in the area for NBC4's Clear the Shelters event. However, they were not there to adopt, but to donate.

Allison Foenander, 8, and Molly Foenander, 10, opened a lemonade stand to raise more than $60 for the Burbank Animal Shelter, which they gave to volunteers on Saturday.

"Folks that young that care this much about animals and want to help is an amazing, generous thing," said Chris Dezorzi, a volunteer at the shelter.

He said the donated money will go to a general fund for the shelter at 1150 N Victory Pl., which pays for surgeries, medications, and foster care for animals.

9. We did this several times growing up, with yard sales or a 'carnival'

Back in the day, when local am radio was the internet. It was so exciting helping out and hearing the SPCA lady mention our names on her weekly radio program after we'd donated all of $24 or something.
