Building Futures through LemonAid 2025
Capital Square’s dedicated philanthropic partnership with The Children’s Hospital of Richmond at VCU has a long legacy through our team’s efforts at radiothons, parades and toy drives, as well as through various extra occasions we’ve celebrated the absolutely incredible kids at the hospital. Still, one of our favorite efforts every year is our participation in LemonAid, a Children’s Hospital of Richmond fundraiser “putting the squeeze on childhood cancer.”
In 2024, Capital Square partnered with Capital Square Living, combining talent and resources across all divisions of our real estate firm to create a significant impact, allowing for a meaningful difference for the Children’s Hospital. That effort led to LemonAid stands across 21 multifamily communities in Virginia, as well as our corporate headquarters in Richmond. One lemonade cup at a time, we raised over $6,000 for the children.
All the same, this year, we wanted to go even bigger.
In 2025, we gathered notes from the previous year to take our efforts to an even more impactful place. Again, Capital Square and Capital Square Living worked together to hold LemonAid stands across our portfolio of multifamily communities, but this year, we didn’t stop at Virginia. The award-winning and incredibly high caliber Children’s Hospital of Virginia serves patients from across the country and across the world. Thus, we recognized our LemonAid stands to support our firm’s hometown hospital should stretch beyond one state’s borders.
This year, approximately 30 Capital Square Living-managed communities from across the Southeast participated in our LemonAid events. Hitting the Children’s Hospital of Richmond’s scoreboard as the “Top Fundraiser” and for “Most Donors” within a single effort was an accomplishment; however, surpassing last year’s total to raise over $7,000 for the Children’s Hospital’s unstoppable kids was our biggest point of pride.
We’ve raised the bar, and we cannot wait to see what might happen in 2026.
Our annual LemonAid efforts are just one more way Capital Square cares, rallying our team and our surrounding community together in pursuit of being the change needed in the places where we work, live, build and invest.
