Grace Bova's (center) idea to create a lemonade stand to raise money for melanoma cancer research inspired an entire neighborhood to get involved. Created in honor of her neighbor, Jessica Coleman (who lost her battle with the disease this past September), Grace and her friends set up the "Race Against the Sun" lemonade stand. They promoted it by popping 100 flyers into neighborhood mailboxes, e-mailing 150 people on a neighbor's mailing list, leveraging free TV and radio coverage, and posting signs at busy intersections all over town. Grace and her friends' hard work paid off -- raising over $5,000 for the cause by summer's end.
