ABOUT ALEX'S LEMONADE. Philadelphia based Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation shares the vision of founder and creator, Alexandra “Alex” Scott: a cure for all children with cancer. When Alex, who was diagnosed with childhood cancer just before her first birthday, was four, she told her parents she wanted to set up a front-yard lemonade stand. Her plan: to give the money to doctors to help them find a cure. Her first “Alex's Lemonade Stand” raised an astonishing $2,000 in one day. As news spread of the remarkable girl so dedicated to helping other sick children, people everywhere were inspired to start their own lemonade stands, donating the proceeds to her cause. In 2004 when Alex passed away at the age of eight, her stand and inspiration had raised over $1 million towards finding a cure for the disease that took her life. The foundation that her parents created to keep Alex's spirit and mission alive has today raised more than $30 million, with more than $12 million of those dollars coming from lemonade stands.
