Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is closely monitoring the serious circumstances surrounding COVID-19. With Pennsylvania schools now closed through the rest of the academic year, we unfortunately are unable to host Alex’s “Original” Lemonade Stand on its intended date of June 13, 2020 at Penn Wynne Elementary School. It is our priority to recognize and respect the challenges that many of our supporters are facing during this difficult time. We are currently working on a plan that will protect the health and safety of everyone involved.

Even if we cannot gather together for Alex’s “Original” Lemonade Stand in June, we still want to spread the joyous spirit of this event to everyone. That’s why we are taking Alex's "Original" dance virtual this year. You and your family can join in on the fun by recording your dance moves from the comfort of your home. Check out the choreography and how to participate here. 

This year’s Alex’s “Original” would have marked 20 years since Alex’s first stand. We were so looking forward to gathering with all of you to honor Alex’s legacy with the community that has supported us all this time. Our hope is to reschedule the event in the future as conditions permit, so that we can all celebrate this event together like we have for so many years. We will share any event updates as soon as they’re available via email, our website and on our social media accounts.

If you would like to make an impact for childhood cancer families in need now, please donate to ALSF’s COVID-19 emergency fund. This fund helps families with groceries as well as lodging and travel costs for kids actively in treatment.

Please email Laura Cocchia at [email protected], should you wish to speak directly with a staff member from the Special Events team. Thank you for your understanding and patience.
