Eden Prairie Brothers Host 5th Annual Lemonade Stand Benefiting Tee It Up for the Troops

Eden Prairie, MN — May 26, 2026 

What began as two young boys wanting to say “thank you” to veterans has grown into a beloved community tradition with a powerful impact.

Brothers Noah and Cole Dingels will host their 5th Annual Lemonade Stand benefiting Tee It Up for the Troops during the upcoming Tee It Up for the Troops event at Olympic Hills Golf Club in Eden Prairie on June 8. Located alongside hole 5, the stand has become a meaningful stop for golfers, families, veterans, and community members throughout the tournament.

Over the past five years, the lemonade stand has evolved from a simple backyard idea into a youth-led fundraiser centered around entrepreneurship, hard work, gratitude, and giving back. With support from local businesses, sponsors, neighbors, and volunteers, Noah and Cole raised more than $33,000 in 2025 alone to support veterans and military families through Tee It Up for the Troops. Their efforts were also featured by WCCO-TV last year.

“What Noah and Cole are doing is a powerful example of patriotism in action,” said Tom Groom, National Board Member and Event Chair for Tee It Up for the Troops. “They’re learning at a young age that serving others and supporting those who have served our country is something that can bring an entire community together.”

“At its heart, this has always been about teaching them to serve others, work hard, and appreciate the sacrifices veterans and military families have made,” said their mother, Angela Dingels. “Watching the community rally around them year after year has been incredibly meaningful for our family.”
