5-Year-Old's Weekend Lemonade Stand Raises Over $250 For Police

NORWOOD, MA — Last week, Norwood Patch wrote about a local 5-year-old who is raising money for the Norwood Police Department. Last weekend proved to be a bigger success for young Seamus O'Neil's lemonade stand.

O'Neil's raised $257.15 for local officers by selling lemonade for 50 cents and dog treats for a quarter. O'Neil brought the money to the police station Monday and was scheduled to receive a tour from Chief William Brooks, according to his mom Colleen McCready.

Some members of the Norwood Police Department also paid a visit to the stand.

McCready told Patch that her son wanted to run the fundraiser after seeing news report of the recent police shootings.
