Can one lemonade stand save Kanye West? No, definitely not. But we tried.
Kanye West is going through a lot right now, so he's asked for a little help from his fam. And by that, of course, he means Mark Zuckerberg and also you. And by a little help, of course, he means a billion dollars.
So we decided to do our part. And how does one raise money for a cause? A lemonade stand, of course. So we made The Greatest Lemonade Stand of all Time One of the Greatest Lemonade Stands of All Time.

To see how all our hard work paid off, we met a Certified Public Accountant to see how long it would take to reach our goal of a billion dollars. I'm not going to lie to you, dear reader, we didn't like what he had to say -- but you have to spend money to make money.
