ILWU Walk the Coast is Back!
ILWU Walk the Coast is pleased to announce that we have decided to, once again, hold a virtual drive to help fund the research that is needed to save children’s lives. This important work cannot be successful without you! Please join our 2022 on-line effort on behalf of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation’s fight against childhood cancer.

Since 2012, the ILWU Walk the Coast Committee has linked the International Longshore and Warehouse Union with their locals, industry employers, and the community in a collaborative effort to support families and find cures. We are consistently recognized as an ALSF “Top Fundraiser” and proud to have raised neaerly $1,000,000. There is more work to be done. Childhood cancer does not take a break for pandemics.  Childhood cancer viciously strikes without regard to ethnicity or economic status.
 

Alex's Story
The history of ILWU Walk the Coast is not complete without the selfless inspiration of Alexandra "Alex" Scott. Alex’s life is the account of youth stolen by cancer.  Before her time was cut short at age 8, her selfless dedication to find cures for childhood cancer raised $1,000,000. Alex’s spirit lives through her Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.  Her vision funds cancer research and family support. Watch a video message from Alex’s mother Liz.

We also invite you to watch a video message from International Longshore and Warehouse President William “Willie” Adams, posted on the ILWU Walk the Coast Facebook page. That is  where you too can post  your video and enjoy fellow ALSF supporter’s videos.
 

We Need Your Support
Act today! Rally the members of your local, make your donation and submit your video to the ILWU Walk the Coast Facebook page.
