Last year, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) was able to award 118 new research grants, help more than 350 families travel to treatment and support siblings on the sideline while their brother or sister battled cancer. And all of this was made possible by the generous support of volunteers and donors everywhere who hosted over 14,000 events across the United States, laced up their shoes for The Million Mile, stopped by a lemonade stand during Lemonade Days, and joined us at a special event.
It’s a new year and our resolve to cure childhood cancer remains the same. This year, over 400,000 children will be diagnosed with cancer at clinics and hospitals around the world. Their parents will hold their hand through procedure after procedure. Their siblings will worry and wait at home for their best friend to return. Their doctors will search endlessly for the best treatment. But, we can make a difference in 2025 and move closer to cures and safer treatments for all child with cancer! Want to get involved? Here’s how you can join us and make an impact for kids with cancer in 2025.
