A Message From Elaine Lerner

Alexandra "Alex" Scott, a young cancer patient, was only 4 years old when she decided to hold a lemonade stand to raise money for "her hospital," so doctors could help other kids like they'd helped her. Alex held her first stand in 2000 and continued to hold lemonade stands each year, inspiring support from her community and across the nation. Although sadly Alex passed away at the age of 8, she knew she had reached the ambitious goal of raising $1 million for childhood cancer research.

I recently had the privilege of meeting Liz Scott, Alex's mother.  As soon as I heard Alex's story, I knew I had to get involved as my child, Allison, passed away from childhood leukemia. I instantly thought “What a wonderful way to involve the families and children I work with.” Involving children is a fun way to develop and improve social skills while truly learning the meaning of paying it forward.  I ask that together with your child, you set up your own lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer research.  Join my team to participate and I will make a $25 donation for each family that registers a stand!
