Behind the Scenes

PBteen Extraordinary Teen – Lulu Cerone


We hope everyone has been enjoying their summer relaxing and soaking up the sun! If you have a few minutes in your day, pick a cause close to your heart and throw a philanthroparty! What is a philanthroparty you might ask? They’re a great way to make social activism a part of your social life! Founded by our amazing 16 year old Extraordinary Teen, Lulu Cerone, of LemonAID Warriors, these parties will inspire you to take action and host events in your community along with the 4.2 million people who have already taken action with her!

Lulu founded LemonAID Warriors after learning that just $1 supplies a person in Africa with clean water for the year. Over the past five years, she and her army of youth volunteers have used PhilnathroParties to raise $80,000+ for various causes and provided clean water to almost 3,000 Africans! By sharing PhilanthroParty planning advice and creating action plans (which has been downloaded 165,000+ times!), Lulu has inspired countless others to take action and now is encouraging YOU! To get started, you’ll need to pick a cause, a date and choose from one of your many talents 🙂 Lulu has made it super easy to get involved. Just download her PhilanthroParty checklist here!

Don’t have the time to plan your own party? You can donate to her cause here. Your donations to LemonAID Warriors will go toward their new project, Hwange Primary School in Zimbabwe. They’ve also teamed up with youth activists from Project Tariro and fellow Extraordinary Teen, Riley of Rainbow Pack!
