The Support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation Needed to Continue Making a Difference for Childhood Ca

September marks Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, and Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation continues to support the cause in a massive way—not only this month, but every day of every month throughout the year.
Alex’s Lemonade Stand was started in 2000 by a 4-year-old girl named Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma—a form of childhood cancer—as a baby. After one of her rounds of treatments, she told her mother she wanted to raise money for her doctors in order to “help little kids, like they helped me.” She decided a lemonade stand was the way to do it, and later that year, she and her family opened Alex’s first lemonade stand. They raised $2,000—an experience that sparked an annual tradition.
