Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of 4-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who was fighting cancer and wanted to raise money to find cures for all children with cancer. By the time Alex passed away at the age of 8, she had raised $1 million. Since then, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a worldwide fundraising movement and the largest independent childhood cancer charity in the U.S. ALSF is a leader in funding pediatric research projects across the globe and providing programs to families affected by childhood cancer. My Mama knew Alex and has volunteered for ALSF for many years. I am following in her footsteps by holding my third lemonade stand to help others. I will be holding my stand at the preschool I attended. Please consider donating to my page. "I think everyone deserves to be happy."
