The International Longshore and Warehouse Union (ILWU) has been deeply involved in helping to find a cure for childhood cancer.

Over the past few years the ILWU has held many events and has raised over 1.3 million dollars in donations for the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.

Previous to the Covid outbreak, a retired longshoreman had planned to ride his electric bike from the Canadian border to southern California, stopping at each of the 22 port cities along the way.

This event will now take place starting on June 5 in Bellingham, Washington and the rider, Paul Zaunich, will arrive in North Bend on Wednesday, June 18th around 2:30 PM.

ILWU Local 12 and Auxiliary 1 will be hosting an “Alex’s Lemonade Stand” at the North Bend Visitors Center on Sherman Ave to collect donations for this worthy cause.

We invite each and everyone in the Bay Area to come join us. Please bring your checkbook or cash and give as much as possible in order help find a cure for this devastating disease.
