Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) started with one lemonade stand hosted by our founder Alexandra "Alex" Scott in her front yard which raised $2,000. Alex was just 4 years old and battling neuroblastoma when she asked to donate the money, encouraging doctors to find a cure for all children battling cancer. Today, ALSF is one of the leading funders of pediatric cancer research in the U.S. and Canada, raising more than $250 million so far, funding over 1,000 research projects, and providing programs to families affected by childhood cancer.
