Alexandra Alex Scott took the simple idea of holding a lemonade stand and combined it with the cause of pediatric cancer - a natural and meaningful fit. The concept of "fighting childhood cancer, one cup at a time" has allowed people who would not usually participate in fundraising, especially children, to organize and raise money for childhood cancer. Adults and children alike have been inspired by Alex's giving spirit hosting over 8,000 Alex's Lemonade Stands across the country since 2004. These stands have been organized by a diverse group of devoted volunteers including large and small businesses, inner city school children, senior centers, pre-school aged children, a juvenile detention center, college students, and a group of homeless people. The lesson that everyone learns from holding their own lemonade stand is simple but powerful - every person can make a difference in the world.
