GREENWOOD VILLAGE, Colo.,
Aug. 15, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Red
Robin takes a "stand" against childhood cancer in a sweet way! To
celebrate National Lemonade Day, on Saturday, Aug. 20, participating Red Robin
Gourmet Burgers and Brews® restaurants will host
lemonade stands in support of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. For
the fourth consecutive year, Red Robin will serve free samples of
its famous Freckled Lemonade for guests to enjoy and collect
donations for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a non-profit
organization dedicated to finding better treatments and cures for
all children with cancer.
"Since partnering with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, Red
Robin has raised more than one million
dollars in support of pediatric cancer research," said
Jonathan Muhtar, senior vice
president and chief marketing officer at Red Robin. "Our Team
Members take pride in helping to give back to the organization each
year on National Lemonade Day, and there's no 'sweeter' way to
celebrate the cause than with our bottomless Freckled
Lemonade."
Freckled Lemonade is a refreshing blend of sweet strawberries
and tangy Minute Maid® Lemonade. The signature beverage
with bottomless refills has been a Red Robin guest favorite for
more than 20 years and is available in restaurants nationwide. Red
Robin's support for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation also extends
beyond National Lemonade Day. The casual dining chain donates all
Freckled Lemonade sales during grand opening week of its new
restaurants to the charity.
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation was created by four-year-old
cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004) who began raising
money and awareness to help find a cure for all kids with cancer by
selling lemonade at her own front yard lemonade stand. Alex's
mission continues today through the work of Alex's Lemonade Stand
Foundation, which Red Robin is proud to support. For more

About Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard
lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott
(1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to
hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all
children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the
Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising
movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country
carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex's Lemonade Stand
Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $100
million toward fulfilling Alex's dream of finding a cure, funding
over 500 pediatric cancer research projects nationally. For more
