The famous Cassidy’s Lemonade Stand returned for it’s sixth year in Moose Jaw on June 22 and 23. Cassidy Evans has focused her energy on raising money for Cystic Fibrosis Canada ever since she was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis in 2012. What began as a small lemonade stand in the Evans’ front driveway has turned into an annual fundraising event; this year, with their very own Lemonade Truck! Although the Evans have moved back to Saskatoon where they were originally from, they still plan to bring Cassidy’s Lemonade Truck to Moose Jaw often. “Even though we live in Saskatoon now, we plan to still make our Moose Jaw event annual because the girls love coming back and seeing their friends, and this is such a great community!” said Kimberley Evans, mother of Cassidy. For the Evans’ upgrading to a truck was an important step in continuing the success of Cassidy’s Lemonade Stand. “We realized when we moved to Saskatoon that we couldn’t publicize the address of our home residence like we did here for the first few years in Moose Jaw- it is just a different situation.” The truck also provides a less weather-reliant way to sell lemonade. The truck is also great for publicity. It gets lots of attention when it drives down the road!”

The first weekend using Cassidy’s Lemonade Truck proved profitable and certainly provided many opportunities for the Evans’ to learn how to use the new truck. “We sold 800 glasses of lemonade on Friday so it has been a successful weekend and very busy. Palliser Heights has been awesome. They let us use this space and yesterday many different classes lined up around the truck to try some lemonade.” Cassidy says, “A lot of the time there were 50 to 70 people wrapped around the truck waiting for lemonade!” Cassidy’s Lemonade Stand is made possible with the generous ongoing support of the Mad Greek restaurant which supplies all of the lemons and ice, and Culligan which provides the water. Evans says that this year they also would like to thank WOW Factor Media for providing the decaling on the truck, a generous supporter from the Kinsmen club who renovated the inside of the truck, and Andy’s Transmission which redid all the mechanical aspects of the truck. Cassidy and her family are excited about what the truck can do to raise more money for Cystic Fibrosis.
