Monkey Joe's Supports Nonprofit Funding Childhood Cancer Research

ATLANTA, May 30, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Monkey Joe's, an inflatable-filled children's entertainment center of indoor jumps, obstacle courses and arcades, announces its fifth year of partnership with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a nonprofit dedicated to finding cures for all kids with cancer. Throughout the month of June, all Monkey Joe's locations will host lemonade stands, events and promotions to raise funds for ALSF, as well as donate a percentage of all June lemonade sales to the organization.

"According to the American Cancer Society, an estimated 11,060 children in the United States under the age of 15 will be diagnosed with cancer in 2019," said Julie Arko, Director of Marketing at Monkey Joe's. "For the past four years, Monkey Joe's has partnered with Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation in support of its mission to impact the lives of children with cancer, raise awareness, support families and empower everyone to help cure childhood cancer. We are honored to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for a fifth year, and hope this campaign encourages communities across the country to take a stand against childhood cancer."
