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.

People from all over the world, moved by her story, held their own lemonade stands and donated the proceeds to Alex and her cause. In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of eight, knowing that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $1 million to help find a cure for the disease that took her life.

Alexandra "Alex" Scott, future founder of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, is born in Connecticut to parents Liz & Jay Scott. She is the second of four children. Just days before her first birthday, Alex is diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer.
