Beginning Tuesday and spanning through July, Applebee’s Neighborhood Grill & Bar franchisees will support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for the tenth straight year.

With a record $756,000 raised in 2013 and more than $4 million raised since 2005, more than 850 Applebee’s restaurants nationwide will work toward topping the $5 million mark in 2014.

Participating restaurants – which include the Altoona, Johnstown and State College locations – will raise funds in support of ALSF. Fundraising efforts, which vary by restaurant, include donating a portion of each lemonade sale (all varieties) through the restaurants’ Summer Squeeze promotion to ALSF.

Applebee’s guests may also have an opportunity to donate to ALSF through the purchase of a paper lemon in support of childhood cancer research.
