Alexandra "Alex" Scott, a young cancer patient, was only 4 years old when she decided to hold a lemonade stand to raise money for "her hospital," so doctors could help other kids like they'd helped her. Alex held her first stand in 2000 and continued to hold lemonade stands each year, inspiring support from her community and across the nation. Although sadly Alex passed away at the age of 8, she knew she had reached the ambitious goal of raising $1 million for childhood cancer research.

The Kindergarten Readiness room at First Step Learning in Belvidere, IL would like to carry on Alex's legacy by raising donations by holding a lemonade stand on May 29, 2015 from 3:30 PM to 5:30 PM. We hope you can make it out and enjoy a nice glass of lemonade, but if you cannot, please consider donating on this page. Thank you.

Ms. Renae, Ms. Courtney, and the KR students
