Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation Annual Fundraising Event

May 28, 2015 by Denise Courter

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation Annual Fundraising Event

We are excited to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation which is named in honor of Alexandra “Alex” Scott who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer, before her first birthday. Following a stem cell transplant, Alex decided she wanted to hold a lemonade stand with profits going to doctors to “help other kids, like they helped me.” Alex’s first lemonade stand raised $2,000.

We learned about this organization when my son was two years old and it really hit home. I made a promise that I would get involved and make sure that he would be old enough to understand the concept of charity and giving to others. Now that we have two children and old enough to understand about giving back, we are thrilled to participate this year. The impact of Alex’s efforts have affected folks from around the world and began hosting their own charity lemonade stands, as a show of support. The organization has raised over $1 million to date. Alex lost her fight to cancer at age eight, but the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, run by her family and supporters around the world, continues to raise money to battle the disease which took her life.

Alex’s Lemonade Days, held during the second weekend of June, is a yearly fundraiser for the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Participants can help by sharing Lemonade Days information on social media using #LemonadeDays or hosting their very own charity lemonade stands. Lemonade stand participants should register with http://www.LemonadeDays.org by June 5. Participants who register are sent a free fundraising kit, which includes posters, banners, and thank you cards.

The money that is raised during this annual campaign is earmarked for grants to assist cancer researchers in their early careers, advancing the pace of ongoing cancer research, and improving the quality of life for cancer patients and their families.

Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 yea Life is funny. A year ago I was celebrating 20 years of calling NYC home. A year later, our family is on a crazy career adventure in Miami, with a lot of unknowns. 

But, we do know that we only get one life to live and jumping in feet first is the only way to live life to the fullest, at least in our minds 😂. 

We are already in love with the Miami weather, the happy people, the gorgeous beaches 🏝 and the day tripping way of life. We arrived in FL w a suitcase each and a mask 😷. Happy that we are surrounded by mask-wearers. Wasn’t sure what to expect. But, we will be back in NYC this summer. Lots of decisions to make between now and then. But also lots of fun and exploring over the next few months. 

The silver lining of the Covid world we live in is remote learning allows us to travel and say yes to new beginnings. Stay tuned for updates on the next chapter for our website, too.
