June 2026 - Robert Volunteers for Childhood Cancer at Alex's Lemonade Stand
At age 8, Alexandra "Alex" Scott passed away from neuroblastoma, a childhood cancer. Every year more than 400,000 children worldwide develop cancer. When she was 4, Alex started her cancer fundraiser and raised more than $2,000 dollars. At her death in 2004, Alex raised 1 million dollars and inspired a legacy of hope and cures for childhood cancer.
Childhood Cancer is Underfunded
Despite lack of funding, pediatric cancer is the number one cause of death by disease for children and young adults under 20. The ALSF delivers exceptional results in everything they do, ensuring your satisfaction at every new step towards a cure to childhood cancer.
Alex's Reach
Since Alex poured her fist glass of lemonade, the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) has funded more than 1,500 research projects at 150 institutions in the U.S. and Canada.
You Can Help
With the help of all supporters, the ALSF is guiding the world toward a future without childhood cancer. So please support Alex and grab that cup of lemonade by joining them in finding cures for childhood cancer.
