Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a nonprofit committed to curing childhood cancer, invites families and individuals across the country to visit and support local lemonade stands during Alex’s Lemonade Days (June 4-12).

The national volunteer fundraiser commemorates ALSF founder Alexandra “Alex” Scott’s challenge to raise $1 million for childhood cancer cures, one cup of lemonade at a time. Volunteers are invited to host lemonade stands during the first full week of June to continue Alex’s mission and bring renewed attention to the fight against childhood cancer.

With help from these volunteers, Alex would reach her million-dollar goal before losing her life to cancer in August 2004. Since 2004, more than 27,000 Lemonade Days stands and events have been held nationally, raising over $15 million for childhood cancer research.

This year, an estimated 5,000 volunteers will host over 1,000 lemonade stands around the country, making a difference for families and children impacted by childhood cancer. This money will be used to fund innovative research and enhance the lives of those affected by cancer diagnoses.

In addition to those hosting lemonade stands and events, people looking for other ways to support the movement can get involved in in multiple ways. Visiting a local stand or event, supporting one of ALSF’s sponsors’ fundraisers, or simply showing support through social media by using #LemonadeDays.

This year, ALSF introduced 14 families as Lemonade Leaders. These families have either been personally impacted by childhood cancer or have shown incredible dedication and commitment towards ALSF’s mission.

These leaders will host their own lemonade stands, which you can find on our website, and will share their stories and experiences with childhood cancer and our foundation.
