Gillian Kocher came to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation via her grandfather William Weigel’s great love for thoroughbred horses. After watching the Triple Crown series featuring Afleet Alex in 2005, Gillian became familiar with the vision and mission of ALSF, always keeping the connection in the back of her mind. When the time came to move on from the public relations job she had held for four years in New York City, Gillian immediately thought of ALSF. On a whim, she sent an email to Liz Scott just when the Foundation happened to be looking to hire a new in-house public relations specialist. After the interview process, Gillian was granted her dream job.
