State Representative Dwight Evans will join Jay and Liz Scott, parents of Alex’s Lemonade Stand founder Alex Scott, as well as a host of other special guests in announcing a state grant to the organization during a ceremony at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia. Alex's Lemonade Stand was founded by a young cancer patient, Alexandra "Alex" Scott. For four years, despite her deteriorating health, Alex held an annual lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer research. Following her inspirational example, thousands of lemonade stands have been held across the country by children, schools, businesses and organizations, all to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. As of today, her national campaign has raised over 9 million dollars for pediatric cancer research. Funds from the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation support The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia’s oncology program and other children’s hospitals across the country.
