A Refreshing Way to Raise Awareness for Prostate Cancer: SEA of Blue Lemonade Stands

Children from the Dencs family of McHenry (from left to right: Evey, 4, Richie, 8, and Connor, 6) at their SEA Blue lemonade stand.

The Dencs children of McHenry created a SEA of Blue Lemonade Stand last weekend to raise awareness for prostate cancer and the upcoming SEA Blue Prostate Cancer Walk/Run scheduled for September 13.

Meghan Dencs (mom) and her children have been volunteering for the SEA Blue Prostate Cancer Walk/Run for more than five years.

As volunteers they have met many families whose lives have been turned upside down from prostate cancer. This year, the three siblings decided they wanted to do more.

They dressed up in “everything blue” and served blue lemonade to highlight the fact that blue is to prostate cancer as pink is to breast cancer.

“We didn’t want people to drive by without noticing us,” said Richie.

Weather permitting, the kids will hold a repeat performance next Friday, September 4, starting at 3:30 p.m. at the Chain O’Lakes Brewing Company. All proceeds will be donated to the SEA Blue Walk.

More than 220,000 men are diagnosed each year with prostate cancer. September is Prostate Cancer Awareness Month. For more information on the SEA Blue Prostate Cancer Walk, please visit www.seablueprostatewalk.org.
