Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer seeks to change the lives of children with cancer through funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer. Volunteers including individuals, families, classrooms, schools, and businesses can get involved by holding their own official lemonade stand. All funds raised go directly to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research, a registered 501(c)3 charity. Careful distribution of the grants allows doctors to bring the latest and most promising life-saving treatments to seriously ill children. Funds also support programs to help families affected by childhood cancer.
To hold a lemonade stand, select a date, register your event, gather materials, advertise the stand, and collect donations from every customer. Alex’s Lemonade Stand will provide an event kit such as signs and other marketing materials as well as create a webpage for the event that will allow the community to make donations and help you track funds raised.
