We will keep in touch, provide your own customizable fundraising page, and send you a fundraising mini-pack starter kit.

Can I organize an event other than a lemonade stand?

Yes! We encourage our volunteers to be as creative as they want in hosting fundraising events. You can host a fundraising event that suits your talents and resources. Any event can be turned into an Alex’s event! Visit our Get Involved section for more ideas -- you'll find lots of ideas for how you can get involved.

Can I print my own banner or sign using your logos?

Yes, we encourage stand hosts to design their own banners, flyers or signs and incorporate our logos. We also offer some downloads and printable materials, visit our Downloads page for more information.

Can my company match the donations raised at my stand or event?

Yes, many companies offer matching donation programs and/or Dollars for Doers programs, where they will donate money to the foundation for each hour you work at your lemonade stand. Inquire with your company and if your company needs us to fill out paperwork, please forward the paper work along with your stand proceeds. You can also send forms via fax (610.649.3038) or email Cynthia Ellis, Cynthia@AlexsLemonade.org.

Can people write checks when they want to donate?

Absolutely! All donors that write checks receive a thank you note and receipt from us. Make checks payable to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.

Do I need to build a stand?

No, you do not need to build a stand; although you certainly can (check out our Stand Construction Blueprint on our Downloads page!). A table-like surface of any kind will work just fine! There are many creative ways to decorate so people know to stop for a cup! Also, after you register your stand, we will send you a small banner to hang at your stand so everyone knows you are holding an official Alex's Lemonade Stand.

Does Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation support one hospital or one type of research?

Our mission is to find a cure for all childhood cancers and that requires working with researchers from near and far! Put simply, we believe in funding the best and most promising research into all types of childhood cancers, and have funded projects at 66 leading hospitals and institutions across the United States. Researchers from all not-for-profit instititutions in North America are encouraged to apply.
