Melissa Jones first became aware of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer in the Fall of 2008. Melissa was researching non-profit organizations for one of her college classes, and came upon the foundation. It didn’t take long for her to be inspired by the story Alexandra “Alex” Scott and the mission of the foundation bearing her name. Melissa decided to utilize her spare time to help the organization, and soon became a full-time volunteer. Having an interest in the emerging world of social media and a strong desire to be a part of the Foundation, Melissa happily accepted a summer internship to promote ALSF online. Following the very successful internship, she was offered a full-time position, which she accepted without any hesitation. Melissa says that she couldn’t think of a better way to spend her time each day than by working toward Alex’s dream of one day finding a cure for all children with cancer.
