Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer

What does being a Hero Ambassador entail? 
Hero Ambassadors are asked to represent ALSF at a variety of events (i.e. Lemonade Stands, check presentations, special events, etc). Ambassadors may be asked to speak in front of an audience, or simply speak one-on-one with the Stand Hosts, volunteers, or supporters. They can share their personal story, talk about ALSF, emphasize the importance of funding research -- basically Ambassadors are there to raise awareness about childhood cancer. 

Optional: Parent to Parent Network
Our Parent to Parent Network is another way of being involved this in program. You may train new Hero Ambassadors, or connect with other parents by sharing experiences or providing emotional support. For more information about this portion of the program, please visit this link.

Interested in being an Ambassador?
If you are a parent/caregiver of a child who had/has cancer, and are interested in becoming one of our Hero Ambassadors, please click here. We will follow up with an email to confirm your participation and set up a phone interview. A training PowerPoint and FAQ will follow.

How does the process work? 
Anyone who registers their fundraising event online is asked if they’d like an Ambassador to either speak at or attend their event.  ALSF will follow up on their request and ensure that the setting is appropriate for an Ambassador. Once confirmed, we will reach out to a family, based on their preferences, as well as distance to the event.  We will try our best to match all Ambassadors with events, however please know that these requests do not come regularly.  The requests come more often during our busy spring/summer season, but are infrequent during the fall and winter.  Additionally, it depends on the location of the event and your preferences (type of event, distance, group size, etc).  That will be discussed during the phone meeting as mentioned in the paragraph above.
