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.

We're excited to announce OpenScPCA grants are now available for eligible pediatric cancer researchers! More information available from the Childhood Cancer Data Lab:
In April 2024, we announced the Open Single-cell Pediatric Cancer Atlas (OpenScPCA) project. Since then, we've been working to build a supportive community while getting started on a few analysis ideas! We’re excited to see growing interest in the project, and we have some big news for prospective collaborators. Contribute your expertise to help us build a valuable pediatric cancer resource, and you may become eligible for a grant! We are seeking collaborators with experience analyzing single-cell RNA-seq datasets to help annotate and assign cell types to existing datasets on the Single-cell Pediatric Cancer Atlas (ScPCA) Portal. Small one-time grants are now available for eligible pediatric cancer researchers who annotate cell types for all samples in a given group. Read more about grant opportunities and what we've been working on!
OpenScPCA: Call for contributions, new grant offerings, and analyses in progress!
