Hosting a lemonade stand on a hot summer day is a great way to beat the heat and help kids beat childhood cancer! This year, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation’s (ALSF) annual Lemonade Days is back! It is the perfect time to come together and help raise funds for childhood cancer research. Looking for ideas? Here are five creative ways you can host a lemonade stand and help kids with cancer:
When Nick’s teacher taught their class about Alex Scott, it sparked in him a desire to hold his own lemonade stand in honor of his dad, who was bravely battling cancer. Their first annual stand was a tremendous success, but sadly, Nick’s dad passed away when he was 6. Still determined to carry on his father’s legacy, Nick and his family hold a lemonade stand every year on his dad’s birthday. Now 17, Nick and his mom, stepdad, brother and stepsisters work together to make their lemonade stand a fun event – big enough this year to raise more money than ever before! Together, they’ve raised nearly $30,000 for kids with cancer.
It’s the homestretch of Lemonade Days! Last weekend, supporters all across the country kicked off our annual week of lemonade stands. From front yards to online, families, friends and businesses all came together to continue our Founder’s belief that we can cure childhood cancer, one cup at a time.
Each year, National Lemonade Day is celebrated on August 20. Here at Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), we find that our supporters are the experts at turning lemons into lemonade.
From making actual lemonade or lemonade flavored treats, to making “lemonade” during challenging times or making lemonade in the lab searching for cures for childhood cancer, ALSF supporters have lots of creative ideas for celebrating National Lemonade Day today and every day!
A cool, tall glass of lemonade on a hot day tastes pretty good—but nothing tastes as sweet as giving back feels. Use your creativity to host a fundraiser for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF)!
Kids across the country host fundraisers during the first week in June for Lemonade Days, but you can run a lemonade stand any time of year. Here are some of our craftiest tips and ideas for making your DIY lemonade stand extra-successful!
Every summer, fresh lemonade stands pop up all across the country, each more unique than the last. At Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, we always look forward to seeing the kind of DIY lemonade stands supporters make. Need some fun, new lemonade stand ideas you can DIY? Get inspired and give your stand a little twist of creativity this year with some of these clever ideas!
One of the reasons Alex was able to raise $2,000 at her first lemonade stand was because her aunt called their local paper. There was a small write-up in the community news section. People saw it and showed up to support Alex who wanted to give the money to her doctors and her hospital by hosting a lemonade stand.
For those of us in the northern United States, it feels like days of sipping lemonade are far behind us during these long winter months. But, every day is a great day to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation! Leave the icy cold lemonade behind and instead, embrace the winter season!
Celebrate the Martin Luther King Day of Service by planning your Lemonade Stand fundraiser to support Alex ‘s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer. This year, the Martin Luther King Day of Service also coincides with our founder’s birthday. On January 18, we celebrate the day Alexandra “Alex” Scott was born and her lasting legacy of hope for a cure for all children battling cancer.
