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.

We are carrying on Alex's inspiring legacy by raising money to fight childhood cancer. The resident volunteers and staff of Lynn Williams Apartments have been hosting Alex's Lemonade Stand on our front patio since 2008.  The senior residents enjoy volunteering to tend the stand and meet the folks in the neighborhood.  They respect Alex’ Lemonade Stand Foundation and the work that is done to help children with cancer so they are always willing to donate time and support it in a fun way.

So if you are in the neighborhood, stop by for grilled hot dogs and cold lemonade. Or, if you can’t join us in person you can make a much appreciated donation.  As Alex's life showed, our small contributions can make a big impact. Thank you!
