Fighting childhood cancer, one cup at a time.

About us

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of 4-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who was fighting cancer and wanted to raise money to find cures for all children with cancer. Her spirit and determination inspired others to support her cause, and when she passed away at the age of 8, she had raised $1 million. Since then, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement. 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.

  • This week's featured hero is Kaela Cruz! #SarcomaAwarenessMonth Kaela is a brave young woman and a beacon of hope to everyone who crosses her path. She was diagnosed with osteosarcoma just before her 5th birthday. Kaela began treatment at the Bristol Myers Squibb Children's Hospital in May 2007 and had an above-the-knee amputation of her left leg. Meeting with the team of doctors and specialists, along with the barrage of blood tests, X-rays, MRIs and CT scans, was overwhelming. However, she made it through, and her health is doing great! Kaela had the honor to speak and share her story at an ALSF special event to raise awareness about childhood cancer and the need for more funding. Through the generosity of several donors, an osteosarcoma research grant was funded in her name. She is now an A+ college student with a vibrant social life and a scuba certification! She and her family are so proud of all the progress she's made. Read more about Kaela's story > https://lnkd.in/eKQxJ3dC
