About Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard
lemonade stand of 4-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who was fighting
cancer and wanted to raise money to find cures for all children with
cancer. Her spirit and determination inspired others to support her
cause, and when she passed away at the age of 8, she had raised $1
million. Since then, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a
national fundraising movement. Today, ALSF is one of the leading funders
of pediatric cancer research in the U.S. and Canada raising more than
$150 million so far, funding nearly 1,000 research projects and
providing programs to families affected by childhood cancer. For more
