Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is a unique foundation that grew from a young cancer patient's front yard lemonade stand to a nationwide fundraising movement to find a cure for childhood cancer. Since Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996 - 2004) set up her first lemonade stand at the age of 4, millions of dollars have been raised towards fulfilling her dream of finding a cure for all children with cancer.
