Weโre excited to announce that Alexโs Lemonade Stand Foundation has officially surpassed $400M raised in the fight against childhood cancer! ๐๐๐
It all traces back to our founder, Alex Scott, whose lemonade stand inspired a nationwide grassroots movement thatโs made this progress possible since her first stand in 2000:
๐ Funded more than 1,500 research projects across North America and Europe
๐ In 1997, when Alex was diagnosed with cancer, survival rates for childhood cancer were just 77%. Today, theyโre 85% in the U.S.
๐ Since our first grant, FDA-approved childhood cancer treatments have increased from 18 to more than 60 today.
Thank you to every corporate partner, fundraiser, donor, event attendee and anyone who's helped deliver this incredible progress. We wonโt stop until a future free of childhood cancer becomes a reality.
