Each year A.C. Moore Arts & Crafts launches their FREE Summer Fun and Craft Program. Each Wednesday between June 26 and August 14, the program offers free craft activities from 1 p.m. through 3 p.m. for children ages 4 – 12 years. This year, the program kicks off with a summer fun tote bag project benefiting Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer (www.AlexsLemonade.org).
On June 26, shoppers at all 139 A.C. Moore stores can purchase a canvas tote bag for $1. All monies raised through the sale directly benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. From 1 p.m. to 3 p.m. kids can use Simply Spray® to create a special design on their tote bags for free while learning more about holding their own lemonade stands in support of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and pediatric cancer research. Lemonade stand projects can be found at the A.C. Moore website,www.acmoore.com. Shoppers can also donate to the foundation via the purchase of paper “lemons” at checkout.
“Our Summer Fun Wednesday program is designed to tap into children’s creativity, and this year, we are hoping families get creative with ways to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation through lemonade stands of their own,” said Robin Beam, Director of Education. “We know the tote bags will serve the kids well this summer as they enjoy all the wonderful activities that summer brings, including crafting and lemonade stands.”
