Fighting childhood cancer, one cup at a time.
The I Care I Cure Childhood Cancer Foundation was founded by Beth and Brad Besner in honor of their son Ian who died in May, 2006 at 11 years of age from complications related to his leukemia treatments. In September 2020, the I Care I Cure Childhood Cancer Foundation was merged into Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. “By aligning forces, we can expand the synergies to raise even more funds to find gentler cures and increase awareness of this dreadful disease," said Beth Besner.
