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

Just for Kids - Alex's Lemonade Stands

For the next four years Alex held an annual lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer research, despite her deteriorating health. 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 -- her efforts had raised over $1 million for childhood cancer research in just 4-years.

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 help fight childhood cancer. Alex's family and supporters are committed to continuing her inspiring legacy through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501c3 charity.
