Every day, there are almost 800 new cases of childhood cancer around the world. This adds up to an estimated 300,000 new cases of cancer that 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 dedicated to childhood cancers each year.
The funds raised through Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation support life-saving research, treatment advancements, and programs that help children and their families during some of the hardest times of their lives.
For children like Nicholas and so many others, these donations represent hope—hope for better treatments, more birthdays, and brighter futures. By supporting our lemonade stand, you’re helping families feel less alone and bringing us one step closer to a cure. About 47 children are diagnosed with cancer every day. Thanks to research advancements, the overall five-year survival rate for childhood cancer has increased from about 58% in the 1970s to more than 85% today. More than 500 children in the U.S. begin cancer treatment every week. Many childhood cancer survivors face long-term health effects from treatment, making continued research for safer and more effective therapies essential.
Your donation helps fund research, support families, and create better treatment options for children fighting cancer now and in the future. 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 fund research into safer, more effective treatments and cures.
Thank you for helping us turn a simple cup of lemonade into something truly powerful.
