Sevi’s Lemonade Stand

Cancer is a monster of a diagnosis. Sevi is fighting back with lemonade.

Four-year-old Sevi Heck raised $950 in one day for the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. On Saturday, July 25, he’s bringing Sevi’s Lemonade Stand to Mayhem Monster Trucks at the LECOM Event Center — and we’re giving his mission the biggest stage we can.

100% of proceeds from Sevi’s stand benefit the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and the fight against childhood cancer

While the trucks roar, Sevi will be pouring.

This is Sevi Heck — a four-year-old from Elmira with a lemonade stand and a heart the size of the arena. This is his first year raising money for the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, and in his very first stand for the cause he brought in $950 in one day with the help of his family, friends, and neighbors.

His mom, Breanna, and dad, Timothy, are right beside him — and every dollar goes straight to research and family support for kids fighting cancer.

“It was heartwarming to see our community come together for a great cause. Every day I feel lucky to be his mom.”

— Breanna Heck, Sevi’s mom
