Welcome! Northwestern Mutual-Northern Ohio is rasing money for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation! From Youngstown to Canton, Toledo and Findlay..together we are raising money to fight childhood Cancer!! Alex's Lemonade stand emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope.
