CRESTVIEW — Kadance Fredericksen, 11, continued her support of the Ronald McDonald Houses with her third annual lemonade stand fundraiser. The houses function as homes for families where children are undergoing a medical crisis.
The Crestview youth, named Jr. Miss Sugar Sands of Northwest Florida in March, has set a goal this year of $7,000. She presented Ronald McDonald House donations totaling $5,146 so far, and has approximately $1,804 left toward her goal. (Last year's donations totaled $5,099.56.)
Kadance addressed Crestview Area Chamber of Commerce breakfast attendees about the fundraiser on June 7.
"She spoke about giving back to the community through serving, and the starting of Kadance's Lemonade Stand, which benefits the Ronald McDonald House and the families they serve. Special thank you to the Costa Family for their support, not only for Kadance, but for sponsoring the breakfast this morning and their continued support of the Ronald McDonald House," her mother, Lisa Fredericksen, stated.
The Fort Walton Beach Chamber of Commerce and organizers of the 11th annual community health fair also invited her to set up her lemonade stand at two more events scheduled later this year.
