They’ve done it again. Griffin, 8, and Sofia, 5, set up a lemonade stand outside their parents’ Huntsville Home Hardware store on June 16 in hope of raising thousands of dollars for SickKids to add to the $6,000 they’ve raised over the past four years.<\/p>\n

They sold lemonade and cookies made by friends and family for a donation\u2014their sweet smiles given freely were a bonus\u2014 while a charity barbecue behind the store served up grilled goodness for the cause.<\/p>\n

When all of the funds raised were tallied up, they had brought in $2,135 for SickKids, bringing their five-year total to more than $8,000.<\/p>\n

“I enjoy raising money for SickKids hospital,” said Griffin. “That\u2019s why I do it every year.” Sofia helps her big brother by handing out the lemonade and cookies.<\/p>\n

Griffin was recently recognized for his fundraising efforts<\/a><\/span> at the Muskoka Community Foundation\u2019s Smart and Caring Muskoka Celebration. He started the lemonade stand when he was just four years old\u2014his mom and dad, Christine Barkey and Mike Graham, bought the Huntsville Home Hardware store five years ago and the company is an avid supporter of the hospital. Griffin said that he wanted to help, too, and has continued the tradition every year since.<\/p>\n
