Every day, there are almost 700 new cases of childhood cancer around the world. This adds up to an estimated 250,000 new cases of cancer affect children under the age of 20 each year worldwide. And yet, childhood cancer is vastly and consistently underfunded with less than 4% of the federal government's total funding for cancer research is dedicated to childhood cancers each year.

Alexandra "Alex" Scott was born on January 18, 1996, the second of four children. Shortly before her first birthday, Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation inspired by Alex, when she held her first childhood cancer fundraiser in her front yard and raised over $2,000 when she was just 4 years old. 

Today, the money you donate has the potential to make a huge difference in the lives of kids with cancer (and their families). Your donation will go to research at hospitals including Cincinnati Children's and the Cleveland Clinic into better and safer treatments and more cures. Please don’t make these kids wait longer than they have to and give today!
