Seriously, I get that it's a catchy headline, and the fact that money coming in the door on the first day is a good thing, but calling it a profit is a little bit on the newspeak side of things, no?
This is not to say that lemonade stands are scalable but Alex's Lemonade Stand is an amazing story...
"Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (a registered 501c3 public charity) is a unique foundation that evolved from a young cancer patient's front yard lemonade stand to a nationwide fundraising movement to find a cure for pediatric cancer. Since Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004) set up her front yard stand at the age of four, more than $17 million has been raised towards fulfilling her dream of finding a cure for all children with cancer."
