ILWU Walk the Coast sends a big THANK YOU to our donors. We are proud to announce that our 2025 annual fundraiser set a one-year donation record, $167,861. For 14 years, ILWU locals, pension groups, auxiliaries, industry companies and friends from Alaska to Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii and Canada have united to raise over $1.5 million to help fund Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation’s childhood cancer research and family assistance programs.
Watch a thank you video to ILWU from Liz Scott, Alex’s Mother and Co-Executive Director of ALSF.

Alex’s Story
The history of ILWU Walk the Coast is not complete without the selfless inspiration of Alexandra "Alex" Scott. Alex’s life is the account of youth stolen by cancer. Before her time was cut short at age 8, her selfless dedication to find cures for childhood cancer raised $1,000,000. Alex’s spirit lives through her Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
We also invite you to watch a video message from International Longshore and Warehouse President William “Willie” Adams, posted on the ILWU Walk the Coast Facebook page. That is where you too can post your video and enjoy fellow ALSF supporter’s videos.
We Need Your Support
Act today! Rally the members of your local, make your donation and submit your video to the ILWU Walk the Coast Facebook page. We are asking every ILWU local in Washington, Oregon, California, Hawaii, Alaska, and Canada to donate and post videos showing their support for ALSF and ILWU Walk the Coast.
