Let’s do this!
Choose your location, date and time, and register your Alex’s Lemonade Stand. If you are hosting your stand in June, please check out our nationwide event Lemonade Days. We encourage children to participate every step of the way, they will just need an adult to help them register with us. You can choose to have an event kit mailed to you and you’ll get a personal event coach to help answer your questions.  We’re here to help!

Let everyone know what you're doing.
When you register your event, you’ll also be creating your very own page on our website for your stand. You can share your page with friends on social media or in emails.  It's a great way to invite people to stop by your lemonade stand or even receive donations from people who may not be able to make it that day! Put up fliers and contact local radio, newspapers and TV stations to get the word out. For support with contacting media, contact Public Relations Specialist Rachel Simpson at [email protected]. Be sure to check out our downloads!

The big day is here — have fun!
We suggest that instead of putting a price on each cup of lemonade, simply ask for a donation of any amount. Be sure to let your supporters know that you can accept checks (payable to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation), cash, and mobile donations to your event page.

Consider adding on a raffle or selling baked goods or craft items at your event to maximize your donations. Be creative — the sky is the limit!

That was fun, now what?
After your event, send in your donations. You'll receive a return envelope in your event kit.

Don't forget to include your event ID number. If you can't find this number, your event coach can help you out. We’ll update your personal fundraising page with your donation total. Please allow up to one month for mailed donations to show up on your page.

We take your donation and use it to help fund childhood cancer research.
Researchers fill out grant applications that our expert scientific advisory board reviews and scores. The research projects with the best scores get funded. Check out a full list of our funded projects.
