Trying to think of creative ideas to assist his lemonade stand, he sold his own toys in a charity garage sale and put together four separate charity online auction. The first with items signed by "people who are famous", the second year with dog collars which were signed by celebrities. It involved a lot of letter writing to try and get it to all the celebrities he chose to contact. He'll be the first to tell you, "It was a lot of work!" He also runs each September in a local race wearing a shirt, "Running for Canine Companions for Independence" sometimes even getting a few people to sponsor him. Now, known as Kyle's Lemonade, he is going into his 5th year, and has now surpassed his initial goal. To date, he has helped raise over $115,000! As he gets a little older,he continues to not only think of and organize different ways to bring in donations to CCI, but his real goal is to make more people aware of this charitable organization he so believes in.

Kyle's motto: 

 "I think you are never too little to make a difference"
