It's a case of kids helping kids! Godiva Chocolatiers held its Bring Your Child To Work Day on June 15th. The theme for the day was to build a business from the ground up...and in this case, they did a Lemonade Stand. Proceeds from the Lemonade Stand were donated to Big Brothers Big Sisters. The kids also brought athletic and outside gear like baseball, water guns, hoola hoops and more...all of which will also be given to BBBS to be distributed to our Little Brothers and Little Sisters at our agency's Annual Summer Picnic.
