Two sets of kids hosted lemonade stands to benefit the Gay Head Lighthouse, which is in danger of toppling into the sea due to cliff erosion.
(Left) Malia Bodnar and Maeve Sheehan show off their “Keep on Shining” tee-shirts. (Right) Lily Kolm, Warren Webber Gebb, and Eliza Webber Gebb raised $130 for the “Save the Gay Head Light” campaign.
Eliza Webber Gebb and Warren Webber Gebb raised $130 along with their friend Lily Kolm. Duo Malia Bodnar and Maeve Sheehan raised $70. In both cases, the kids initiated the projects and decided to donate the proceeds, raised by charging $1 to $2 per cup. Asked by her mother, Meg Bodnar, why the she and the other children were spending part of their precious summer working the lemonade stands, Malia Bodnar said, “It’s so close to the edge, Mama, we have to save it!”
