One of TWTC's biggest supporters is also one of its youngest. Ten-year-old Sophie recently raised $127 at a neighborhood lemonade stand benefiting The Women's Treatment Center. Sophie hosted her first lemonade stand when she was just six years old.  In an exclusive write-up, Sophie told us how this all came about:

"My mother and I were walking one day and I said to her, 'I want to have a lemonade stand and do you know what I want to do with the money?' My mother thought I was going to say that I wanted to buy a toy but instead I said, 'I want to give the money to Mrs. Kramer's charity.'  Mrs. (Roberta) Kramer is a friend of my mother's and she volunteered at The Women's Treatment Center. So our plans began. We decided that I would sell lemonade on the first day of our neighborhood festival, since my street was never busy except on that day.  I chose a friend to do the stand with me, and we called out, 'Lemonade for Charity!'  That year, 2007, we made $39. In 2008 I made $85. In 2009 I made $105. This year, 2010, I made $127.I have had a lemonade stand for four years and kept at it for two reasons: 1), I always have a lot of fun, and 2) I do it for the people at the Women's Treatment Center, to help them."

Our deep thanks to this young entrepreneur and philanthropist.
