ALSF has been an amazing support for.our family. Frankie was diagnosed with a metastatic brain tumor in 2018 and their organization helps us raise funds for research to better understand and treat childhood brain tumors as well as spread awareness about the impact cancer has on children and siblings affected by childhood cancer. We love Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation!
I'm a former employee and a current volunteer and donor. Based on my own experience, I can assure you that when you give to this organization, you can have the utmost confidence that your donation will go towards helping children with cancer and their families. ALSF has robust processes in place for ensuring that research grants are made to the best scientists, and research projects. Each grant application is carefully and thoroughly reviewed and discussed by a panel of experts in the field that are committed to funding the most promising projects. The level for support for families is also unparalleled, including financial support for families that often have to travel for treatment, programs and services for siblings, and the recently-added support for identifying appropriate clinical trials. ALSF continually seeks innovative ideas and new ways to help. Please consider supporting this amazing organization that has done, and continues to do, so much for kids with cancer!
Our Daughter Alexa (Diagnosed with Brain Cancer and NF-1 in 2004) was running out of treatment options until we went to NEW YORK from Oregon in 2011
for a special Brain Tumor trial. We stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Expensive ManHattan.
Alex's Lemonade stands travel fund paid for a large portion of our stay at the RMDH. Without their help we would not have been able to stay and concentrate on saving our Daughters life. God Bless Them!
Sincerely, Monica delos Reyes & Lexy
My nephew lost his battle with pediatric cancer, so when I was looking for an organization to support, I used this site to find one that aligned with my fundraising goals. ALSF far exceeded my expectations. I was a member of Team Lemon, and I can't tell you how positive of an experience it was. I had consistent support from the staff and coaches - but nothing ever seemed over the top or frivolous. This organization funds research grants to eliminate cancer, and supports children and families that are going through the battle of their lives. I am proud of have worked with them!
Review from CharityNavigator
www.alexslemonade.org is a wonderful organization dedicated to fighting childhood cancer. Alex's Scott at the age of 4 held a front yard lemonade stand and gave the money to her hospital. Sadly, she lost her battle with Neuroblastoma in 2004. Her family has continued to fulfill her dream so that other children will have better treatments with better outcomes in the future. Our family has held many Alex's Lemonade stands in honor of my son Sean, a Neuroblastoma survivor. We encourage our friends to do the same. It's easy, it's fun, and it is for a great cause!
