Addie Loerzel has been spreading joy since 2013 when she launched her first lemonade stand fundraiser for the Sunshine Foundation, which makes dreams come true for children with severe illnesses or conditions.

Inspired by a Disney trip gifted by the foundation, Addie has raised over $85,000 through her cupcake stand, funding trips, shopping sprees, and sensory rooms for children. Addie and her Royal Bakers create over 3,000 delicious cupcakes each summer in Moorehead, Minnesota for her annual fundraiser, with favorites like Cherry Almond and Double Chocolate Oreo.

Addie’s Royal Cupcake Stand has become a beloved local event in the Moorhead, Minnesota area, with the community eagerly anticipating the fundraiser every summer. The cupcakes are not only a treat but also a symbol of hope and generosity, reflecting Addie’s commitment to giving back.

Addie plans to start her own nonprofit to extend her mission further, supporting and bringing joy to children with severe illnesses.
