disease," said Brynne Rhodes, Founder of the Pink Lemonade Stand Challenge. "I am overwhelmingly grateful for the partnership, generosity and compassion of the vineyard vines team.
Our partnership over the last 4 years has been
invaluable in raising awareness and funds for research and achieving our shared goal of inspiring communities coast to coast to take an active role in supporting this cause.
