Does anyone know the Vegas odds on the government shutting them down?

LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WHAS11) -- Who knew that selling lemonade could be so profitable?

The Cooper family raised more than $32 hundred for childhood cancer research by setting up a lemonade stand in front of their St. Matthews home.

This is part of a national movement called Alex's Lemonade Stand which was started by a little girl with leukemia who wanted to raise money to help other kids like her.

The Cooper family has gotten their 4-year-old daughter Whitney involved to show her the importance of helping others.

Last year, the Cooper family raised $16 hundred with this lemonade stand.

This year, their goal was $25 hundred and they surpassed that by more than $700 in just two hours.
