Organization Information
Mission Statement
Alexandra "Alex" Scott founded Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation on what seemed to be a simple concept. In the year 2000, when Alex was just 4 years old and battling her own cancer called neuroblastoma, she told her parents that she wanted to have a lemonade stand in her front yard. She surprised everyone when she announced her plan to donate the money from the stand to "her hospital" to help the doctors find a cure for all kids with cancer. She continued to hold yearly lemonade stands to benefit childhood cancer research and other people across the globe joined in with their own stands. In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $1 million to help fight childhood cancer.
