Panera's Operation Lemon-Aid for Kids

Nothing says summertime like a nice refreshing glass of lemonade from Panera. Join Central Florida Panera Bread Bakery-Cafe's as they raise money to help local children treated at Greater Orlando Children's Miracle Network Hospitals, Arnold Palmer Medical Center and Shands Hospital for Children at the University of Florida.

Visit the Lake Eola Panera Bread location on July 4th from 2:00pm to 7:00pm and for $1.00 sample Panera home-style lemonade at the Lemon-Aid Stand created to support hundreds of children under Children's Miracle Network Hospitals care.

In addition to Operation Lemon-Aid for Kids, all the money collected through the Operation Dough-Nation boxes during the month of July will be donated to Greater Orlando Children's Miracle Network Hospitals and matched dollar for dollar. The campaign will allow these hospitals to maintain and upgrade their pediatric programs so they can continue to provide young patients with the most advanced medical treatment available.

“We are so appreciative of the support and commitment the Central Florida Panera Bread Cafe’s have made to children in our community to ensure they receive the best healthcare possible,” said Rebekah Swyers, Greater Orlando Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. “When guests give a dollar or more during Operation Lemon-Aide For Kids, they will be making a donation that 100-percent benefits Arnold Palmer Medical Center and Shands Hospital for Children at the University of Florida.
