TULSA — It started on a hot summer day, when 10-year-old Katie Murray and her siblings set up a lemonade stand, raising $26.
But instead of buying toys or clothes, they donated the money to the "Tulsa Day Center for the Homeless."
The following year, they had 117 lemonade stands across the city and raised $7,000.
Now, Katie is back trying to bring awareness to the homeless population in the metro area.
"We couldn't do the 25th anniversary without having some sort of celebration because it gave back so much to the community back then. We want to give it to a new generation and show the world not just the tulsa community how we can give back," Murray says.
Lemonade stands will be set up across Tulsa today with an anniversary celebration at Guthrie Green from 11 a.m. - 4 p.m.
