Starting September 1, 2025, Waldo’s Chicken & Beer will kick off its Waldo’s Walks for Aaron fundraiser to support the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) Tennessee-Alabama Chapter. For the entire month, $1 from every lemonade purchased at any Middle Tennessee Waldo’s location will go directly toward the team’s fundraising goal for the LLS Light the Night Nashville event in October. The effort is especially meaningful to the Waldo’s family, honoring founder Mark Waldo’s brother-in-law Aaron, a survivor of blood cancer. Approximately every three minutes, one person in the U.S. is diagnosed with leukemia, lymphoma, or myeloma, making LLS’s mission to end blood cancer all the more urgent. Guests can participate by visiting Waldo’s in Germantown, Cool Springs, Franklin, West Nashville, Brentwood, Belle Meade, or Nolensville throughout September. With every lemonade ordered, diners will help fund lifesaving research, patient support, and advocacy efforts.
