The Community Calendar whether presented online or on-air is a FREE service for those groups, individuals and organizations that cannot afford paid advertising in any form and that utilize no paid advertising, such as but not limited to cable TV, broadcast TV, newspapers, radio, direct mail, Internet, etc.
The spirit of this portion of our website, as well as the PSA material that is read on air, is to give those community organizations that have no way of paying for advertising a means to spread the word about their services and events. Posts that go against this spirit will be removed without notice.
If your organization is interested in partnering with one of our stations to promote an upcoming event please contact:

- 10th Annual National Lemonade will be on June 7-9, 2013. Hosting a fundraising lemonade stand was the inspired idea of ALSF founder Alexandra “Alex” Scott. True to the spirit of the phrase “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” Alex, at age four, held a lemonade stand to help find a cure for all childhood cancers, including her own. Since that time, more than 20,000 Alex’s Lemonade Stands have been held across the country. While volunteers hold stands throughout the year (often setting them up indoors, in cold weather seasons), National Lemonade Days is a time when volunteers everywhere can join forces as they hold stands simultaneously across the country. Most importantly, National Lemonade Days raises more than $1 million for childhood cancer research, one cup at a time! Every June, this three day event is open to all who want to participate by holding their own fundraising stands or events. Gather your family, your co-workers or your friends, and have fun creating your own Alex’s Lemonade Stand event. See the difference we can make, in one weekend, together!
