Week in Fairfax: Fundraiser for Local Girl

Rita’s Italian Ice, 10726 Fairfax Boulevard in Fairfax, will hold a fundraiser this Saturday, June 16, from noon-4 p.m. Proceeds support the nonprofit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, dedicated to finding cures for children with cancer. They’ll also help Ava Buhr, a third-grader at Fairfax Villa Elementary. She’s been battling leukemia and will help serve frozen treats to Rita’s customers between noon-2 p.m. During the event, the store will donate 50 percent of its proceeds to the foundation.
