Foschi Studio to hold charity event benifiting Alex's Lemonade Stand

New Charity Promotion on August 18th
This summer for one day only, on Saturday, August 18th the Foschi Studio debuts a brand new charity promotion. Cheryl Foschi and her team are hard at work bringing the fun and nostalgia of an old time lemonade stand to the camera room while benefiting Alex’s Lemonade Stand.
This is one of the promotions offered several times per year. These events give our customers a chance to help out some great charities and get outstanding Foschi photographs at a bargain rate.
For each promotion Mrs. Foschi designs a new themed background set. This time around, she will transform her camera room into a nostalgic scene complete with a rustic lemonade stand, sized just right for young children.
This new event gives parents a chance to have their children photographed in all their fun summer outfits before they grow out of them. Jeans, t-shirts and overalls all would look great in this scene. This is a fun and relaxed setting for you child to have their photo taken in.
Promotional sets are designed for children ages 13 or younger. Your low $45 package fee includes an 8x10, two 5x7's and eight wallets. We also offer other special products on promotion days.
Five families are scheduled for each time slot so please be sure to arrive on time. During your session Mrs. Foschi will photograph your child(ren) several times in order capture great expressions. She will later pick out the best picture to print your package from. Additional prints can be ordered at a later date from a special discount order form. Payment can be made by cash or check only.
These promotions are an important part of the Foschi Studio's ongoing commitment to giving back to the community. In the last ten years alone, the Foschi Studio and its customers have helped to contribute more than $25,000 to local charities. Twenty percent of each package purchased during the Alex’s Lemonade Stand promotion is donated directly to the charity founded by the young Alex Scott.
In 2000, a 4 year old cancer patient named Alexandra "Alex" Scott announced a seemingly simple idea - she was holding a lemonade stand to raise money to help "her doctors" find a cure for kids with cancer. The idea was put into action by Alex and her older brother, Patrick, when they set up the first "Alex's Lemonade Stand for Childhood Cancer" on their front lawn in July of 2000.
For the next four years, despite her deteriorating health, Alex held an annual lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer research. Following her inspirational example, thousands of lemonade stands and other fundraising events have been held across the country by children, schools, businesses, and organizations, all to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for childhood cancer. On August 1st, 2004, Alex died peacefully at the age of 8 -- she had raised over $1 million for childhood cancer research in her short lifetime.
In addition to our event inside the studio, a local youth group will be holding an Alex’s Lemonade Stand on our studio’s front lawn, so after having your child’s photo taken, you can relax in our front yard with a ice cold glass of lemonade and learn a little more about the charity you are supporting.
The Foschi Studio's charity promotion days are all about getting great photos at an exceptional value, having fun, and giving back to the community. Don't miss your chance to be part of all the fun, call today!
