Alexandra “Alex” Scott
January 18, 1996 – August 1, 2004
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of 4-year-old Alex Scott, who was fighting cancer and wanted to raise money to find cures for all children with cancer. Her spirit and determination inspired others to support her cause, and when she passed away at the age of 8, she had raised $1 million. Since then, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement and is one of the leading funders of pediatric cancer research in the U.S. and Canada. In loving memory of Alexandra “Alex” Scott, we remember a little girl whose courage was far greater than her years. While battling cancer herself, Alex chose to spend her time helping other children facing the same fight. What began as a simple lemonade stand in her front yard became a movement that has touched countless lives and funded lifesaving childhood cancer research. More than two decades later, Alex’s dream continues to live on through every cup poured, every dollar raised, and every family given hope. Her determination showed the world that one child can make an extraordinary difference, and her legacy reminds us that even the smallest acts of kindness can create lasting change. We honor Alex by continuing the mission she started—to fight for better treatments, more research, and ultimately cures for all children with cancer. As we gather together, we remember not only the remarkable little girl who inspired millions, but also the thousands of children and families who continue to face childhood cancer every day. May Alex’s story inspire us to keep giving, keep hoping, and keep fighting until no child has to hear the words, “You have cancer.” Her light continues to shine in every lemonade stand, every act of generosity, and every step forward in the fight against childhood cancer.
Fight Childhood Cancer,
One Cup at a Time.
