Mission: To Inspire Fun, Family, Charitable Acts that Involve Sharing a Glass of Sweet Tea to Raise Funds and Awareness to Cure Neurofibromatosis
Neurofibromatosis is a tumor causing genetic disorder that affects 1 in 3,000 people, including a little girl named Sophie. Her big brothers wanted to find a way to raise funds and awareness for vital research being done by the Children’s Tumor Foundation. They found that selling sweet tea for their baby sister was a perfect way to do just that. They concocted their own secret recipe and set up a table in our front yard.
Selling Sweet Tea for Sophie is one of their favorite things to do. And we love that they are learning to give of themselves to charity, especially one that we hold near and dear to our hearts.
The idea was started because this kid sister named Sophie, has NF and her brothers wanted to do something about it. The truth of the matter is, that there are so many amazing NF heroes, who deserve more. Every bit of this effort is for each person dealing with the effects of NF in their lives. It’s Sweet Tea for Sophie, but it’s really just a sweet and fun way to try to fund a CURE for everyone with Neurofibromatosis.

How it WorksIn the Media
Key ingredients
Neurofibromatosis isn’t contagious, but our core values are
Knowledge
Let’s make Neurofibromatosis history. The only way to put this genetic disorder in the past is by spreading awareness today. Head over to ctf.org to get the knowledge you need.
Zest
Nothing is more effective at getting people to stop than a simple smile and wave. That said, sign spinning, singing, dancing and posters can a whole lot of fun too.
Creativity
The only requirement at your Stand is some Sweet Tea and a Sweet Tea for Sophie poster. The rest is up to you. We can’t wait to see the creative ideas you come up with.
Resilience
When people stop for Sweet Tea, you raise funds. When people smile and wave, you raise awareness. When they put their head down and speed up, you raise more resilient children.
Courage
Everyone at your Stand should have a job. Sign spinning isn’t for everyone so if you have a shy sibling, they can be the Ice-Man. We recognize that every job takes just as much courage.
Gratitude
The 4 most common phrases at your Sweet Tea for Sophie Stand should be, Please, Thank you, Yes ma’am, Yes sir.
Kindness
Sweet Tea for Sophie is by donation only, we don’t charge a set price. In fact we like to say that the only thing you need to get a Sweet Tea for Sophie is thirst.
