At just five years old, Sadie Ozburn wanted to help. She also wanted to have a little fun, and combined both on Monday, July 4.

Ozburn raised more than $100 for the Pregnancy Resource Center located in Walton County through a Lemonade stand.

She set up her stand on Floyd Street, complete with a mini storefront that her great-grandfather built for her, emblazoned with the name “Sadie’s Lemonade”

Ozburn’s chose the center due to her aunt working there, and because she loves babies.

“We told her should could do anything she wanted with the money, but that is what she decided,” said David Ozburn, Sadie’s father. “Sadie had so much fun selling the lemonade and seeing different customers."

“Sadie really enjoyed helping out, she plans on continuing to sell lemonade every chance she gets.”

David said Sadie is already looking forward to selling more lemonade next Fourth of July, and will have her sister, Mary Ella, right by her side.
