Hosting a fundraising lemonade stand was the inspired idea of ALSF founder Alexandra “Alex” Scott. True to the spirit of the phrase “when life gives you lemons, make lemonade,” Alex, at age four, held a lemonade stand to help find a cure for all childhood cancers, including her own. Since that time, more than 20,000 Alex’s Lemonade Stands have been held across the country!
While volunteers hold stands throughout the year (often setting them up indoors, in cold weather seasons), National Lemonade Days is a time when volunteers everywhere can join forces as they hold stands simultaneously across the country.
National Lemonade Days is a meaningful, nationwide event that started in Alex’s front yard and has grown to front yards across America. Most importantly, National Lemonade Days raises more than $1 million for childhood cancer research, one cup at a time!
Held the weekend before Father's Day every June, this three day event (Friday through Sunday) is open to all who want to participate by holding their own fundraising stands or events. Gather your family, your co-workers or your friends, and have fun creating your own Alex’s Lemonade Stand event. See the difference WE can make, in one weekend, together!
