- In 2000, a 4 year old cancer patient named Alexandra
"Alex" Scott announced a seemingly simple idea -she was
holding a lemonade stand to raise money to help "her
doctors" find a cure for kids with cancer. The idea was put
into action by Alex and her older brother, Patrick, when
they set up the first "Alex's Lemonade Stand for Childhood
Cancer" on their front lawn in July of 2000.

For the next four years, despite her deteriorating health,
Alex held an annual lemonade stand to raise money for
childhood cancer research. Following her inspirational
example, thousands of lemonade stands and other fundraising
events have been held across the country by children,
schools, businesses, and organizations, all to benefit
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for childhood cancer. On
August 1st, 2004, Alex died peacefully at the age of 8 --
she had raised over $1 million for childhood cancer research
in her short lifetime.
Alex's spirited determination to raise awareness and money
for all childhood cancer while she bravely fought her own
deadly battle with cancer has inspired thousands of people,
from all walks of life to raise money and give to her cause.
Alex's family and supporters are committed to continuing her
inspiring legacy through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a
registered 501c3 charity. As of January 2007, Alex's
Lemonade Stand Foundation has raised over $10 million for
childhood cancer research. The result -- Alex's Lemonade
Stand Foundation has given millions of dollars for childhood
cancer research across the country!
