HOW ALEX SCOTT GREW A FRONT-YARD LEMONADE STAND INTO A WORLD-RENOWNED NON-PROFIT CHARITY.

The Founding of a Foundation

The Founder: Alex

Alexandra “Alex” Scott was born on January 18th, 1996.

Before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a form of pediatric cancer.

In 2000, neuroblastoma had not yet been defeated, as doctors discovered newly emerged tumors.

During a stem cell transplant in 2000- when she was four- Alex asked to hold a front-yard lemonade stand with hope to “help other kids.”

Her lemonade stand raised an astounding $2,000.00 that day.

Alex’s journey to find a cure, began quicker than anyone could imagine.

A sad summer day sounded the end of Alex’s reign as the lemonade queen.

On August 1, 2004, Alex passed away.

Alex raised over a million dollars towards finding a cure for pediatric cancer.

In 2005, Alex’s parents, Liz and Jay, created Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation with a very simple mission:

To raise money for and bring

awareness to childhood cancer

causes, and to fund research into

treatments and cures.

Alex’s wish is being fulfilled through the hearts of people everywhere.

Today, there are countless sponsors, fundraisers, events, races, telethons that are held to help raise money in hopes of unveiling Alex’s ultimate wish: finding a cure and helping those like her.

A few of the many sponsors…

Here are some of the newest and annual fundraisers and events supporting ALSF.

Since 2000, ALSF has raised more than 60 million dollars funding…

When life hands you lemons, make lemonade.
