Hello and Welcome to our "Alex's Lemonade Stand" Thank you for visiting our page, and thank you in advance for your donations. "Alex’s Lemonade Stand first began in 2000, when a 4-year-old cancer patient named Alex voiced a simple wish - she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help "her doctors" find a cure for all kids with cancer. The idea was put into action when Alex held her very first lemonade stand on her family’s front lawn in July of that same year. For the next four years, despite her deteriorating health, Alex held an annual lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer research. Alex raised thousands of dollars through her annual stands, but in the early months of 2004, she set what to some seemed like an unreachable goal – she wanted to raise $1 million. Though her health was failing, Alex was determined to reach her goal, and when her parents asked how she would do it, she just said – “if everyone holds lemonade stands and sends in their money, I think I can do it.” Alex was right, and during the weekend of her last lemonade stand in her neighborhood, thousands of volunteers of all ages from all corners of the country held lemonade stands, propelling Alex and her cause to reach $1 million. Shortly following, on August 1, 2004 Alex ultimately lost her life to childhood cancer, but her legacy of hope lives on through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation" Today we are glad to help Alex raise money that will go towards finding a cure for kids with cancer.
