What is Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF)?

When Alex, who was diagnosed with childhood cancer just before her first birthday, was 4 years old, she told her parents she wanted to set up a lemonade stand in their front yard. Her plan: to give the money to doctors to help them find a cure. Her first “Alex’s Lemonade Stand” (held with the help of her older brother, Patrick) raised an astonishing $2,000 in one day. While bravely fighting her own cancer, Alex continued to set up lemonade stands every year.

In 2004, when Alex passed away at the age of 8 — her stand and inspiration had raised more than $1 million towards finding a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) was started by her parents in 2005 to continue the work that Alex began. Its mission is simple: to change the lives of children with cancer through funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer.

Since Alex set up her first lemonade stand in 2000 - truly exemplifying the saying, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade" - they have raised more than $250 million.  That money has helped to: Fund more than 1,000 cutting-edge research projects at nearly 150 institutions. Create a Travel For Care program to help support families of children receiving treatment and develop resources, such as our SuperSibs program, to help people everywhere affected by childhood cancer Join us on April 18th to join Alex's cause and raise money for this incredible foundation!
