Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer

The Elks National Drug Awareness Program (the largest drug education and awareness program in the United States) has announced a partnership with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. The Elks have more than 850,000 members and 2,000 Lodges nationwide. Annually, Elks Lodges across the country organize events during Red Ribbon week, and this year, the Elks Drug Awareness Program is requesting each of the Lodges to hold a lemonade stand event at their Lodge or in their community during this week. Kent Gade, Director of the Elks National Drug Awareness Program commented, “This is a great example of Elks helping another organization with values similar to ours – the Elks are known for providing service and support to those in need. When we met Jay Scott (father of Foundation creator Alexandra “Alex” Scott) and he agreed to speak to our volunteers over the 4th of July weekend, we knew we had found a kindred spirit. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation is making a difference in the lives of children living with childhood cancer worldwide. The Elks Drug Awareness program plans to be a great long term partner for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.”
