CARMEL, Ind. (WISH) - The Emily Yott Foundation, which assists families that have a child with cancer, will be hosting their fourth annual Lemonade Stand and Carnival on Saturday in Carmel.

This family friendly event at the Village Farms Clubhouse, 453 E. Greyhound Pass, will include bounce houses and carnival games that the public is welcome to take part in. There is no charge for adults, and children 12 and under can pay $5 for unlimited participation.

Hot dogs, popcorn, cotton candy, cookies and lemonade are also available at an additional charge. A face painter and balloon artist will be at the event, and donations are accepted for these services.

Formed in 2007, the foundation helps to pay medical bills, utilities, rent and mortgage payments when a family that has a child with cancer is unable to. The foundation also provides gifts to Riley Hospital for Children at IU Health and helps to grant the wishes of sick children and their families.
