Evan Mandalia, Hunter Williams and Maci Mandalia set up their lemonade stand all by themselves, including hand-picking the lemons off the tree. They raised over $60 and donated every penny to Regalos Para Abuelos. (Katie Mandali)

After visiting Maui  and witnessing the wildfire devastation first hand, some neighborhood children put on a ”Lemonade for Lahaina” fundraiser selling homemade lemonade, “Surfs up sugar cookies” and “Beach Bum Brookies.” Over 30 pounds of lemons were squeezed, 12 dozen sugar cookies were baked and two dozen Brookies were made. The amazing Scripps Ranch community showed incredible support to help those dealing with that aftermath. Together, they raised $2,550! (photo by Jami Lindner)
