The 9-year-old Tipton duo raised more than $2,800 through their lemonade stand for the program, which will partner underprivileged children with law enforcement officers, firefighters, emergency medical services personnel and 911 dispatchers for Christmas shopping at the Jefferson City Target. As with previous years, Bracht and Crane will attend the trip to see their efforts brighten other children's lives.
