Meet Jake
Raising money for PAWS
Jake is 7 years old, and as a way of making the most of (yet another) of his brother’s baseball tournament weekends, Jake decided to hold a lemonade stand at the baseball field to raise money to help animals. His mom Tammy agreed to match any money that he raised for PAWS.
He sold lemonade, brownies, and GF blondies, and was able to sit and read his book (another of his favorite activities) while his brother played baseball and he waited for customers. He also took care of his neighbor’s hamsters to raise additional money.
Jake’s mom works for the Gates Foundation, which matches donations 3:1. Between the lemonade stand and taking care of his neighbor’s hamsters and Tammy’s employer’s generous matching gift program, Jake was able to raise $500 for PAWS.
