WHAT IS THE ALEX’S LEMONADE STAND FOUNDATION?
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott. At the age of four, Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand in her front yard to raise money to help find a cure for all childhood cancers. To date, ALSF, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $19 million and funded more than 80 research projects nationwide, including those examining leukemia, brain tumors, neuroblastoma, Wilm’s tumor, lymphoma and osteosarcoma, among others.
