The 5th Summer Lawn Concert in Lavenderland
July 16, 2025
In 2025, we gathered at Lavenderland with friends, families, and neighbours to share an afternoon of music and connection. Our annual Summer Lawn Concert filled the garden with laughter, melodies, and the gentle scent of lavender in the air.
With everyone’s generosity and support, we raised over $4,600 to help improve healthcare programs in Richmond through the Richmond Hospital Foundation.
We’re truly thankful to everyone who made this day possible — from our volunteers and performers to every guest who came to listen and give. Your support reminds us that small efforts, when shared together, can grow into something meaningful for our community

The 2nd Summer Lawn Concert in Richmond City Square
August 27, 2022
In the summer of 2022, our group, Bittersweet Lemonade Association, joined forces with Firefly Youth Network to host a joyful and meaningful summer concert. With support from local businesses and community members, we were able to raise $7,500 CAD for the Richmond Hospital Foundation’s “Life in Three” campaign.
The funds helped purchase a range of urgently needed diagnostic equipment for the hospital’s heart, lung, and neurology specialists, allowing them to provide faster and more accurate care for patients.
By organizing this event, we gained valuable insights into teamwork, community service, and the impact that young people can have when united for a common cause. Knowing that our efforts helped strengthen local healthcare made everyone involved feel proud and motivated to continue making a difference.

The 1st Summer Lawn Concert in Southland Heritage Farm
In 2021, we held our very first Summer Lawn Concert at Southland Heritage Farm, bringing together friends and volunteers to share music and community spirit.
Through everyone’s support, we were able to raise $951.38 CAD for the Indian Residential School Survivors Society, contributing to their important work in supporting survivors and raising awareness.
This first concert taught us a lot about teamwork, organizing events, and the impact that even a small group of dedicated young people can have. It was a meaningful start to our journey, showing us the power of music to bring people together and make a difference.
