Are you ready for the Day of the Girl? This September 22, we’ll be celebrating girls in a big way. We’re asking the Canadian Government to recognize September 22 as the National Day of the Girl (sign the petition here to help convince them), and we’re also hoping that you’ll celebrate being a girl in your own way!
For us, that celebration means Pink LemonAid. No, not a delicious drink…a party to celebrate girls! There are three ways you can get involved:
Come to a Celebrity Pink LemonAid Event
Because I am a Girl’s Celebrity Supporters will be selling lemonade at three stands around Toronto (check here for locations). Keep your eyes peeled for Lisa Ray, Tyler Kyte, Sarah Taylor, and cast members from Degrassi: The Next Generation and many more! All the proceeds will go to support Because I am a Girl.
Host your own Pink LemonAid Stand
If you can’t get to one of the Toronto stands, you can hold your own Pink LemonAid stand to raise awareness and donations for the Because I am a Girl campaign on September 22. We’ve got kits available online that will help you plan your event from start to finish. Think about holding one at your school, in your community, or on your front lawn!
Enter our Pink LemonAid Contest
Starting September 16, you can enter to win a Flip Cam by becoming a fan of our Facebook page and then entering the draw on the website. And then spread the word!
What is your plan for the Day of the Girl? Come and Celebrate with the Because I am a Girl team at Pink LemonAid!
