About Volvo and ALSF

Alex and her lemonade stands first caught the attention of Volvo in 2002 when she received an inaugural Volvo for life Award nomination.  The awards program honors hometown heroes doing extraordinary things in their communities.  Alex's determination and unwavering support for pediatric cancer research earned her a Volvo for life Award at the 2003 ceremony in New York City.  Despite her deteriorating health, Alex continued to raise money through her stands.

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundatin (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004). At the age of 4, Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of volunteers across the country carrying on her legacy of hope.

In 2004, Alex set a remarkable goal: Call upon the nation to raise $1 million to fight pediatric cancer before the year's end. Sadly, Alex passed away that year at the age of 8, having raised an amazing $700,000. Volvo made Alex a promise that we would help her raise the million dollars.  Shortly after her passing, Volvo stepped in to help Alex reach that goal. Thousands of Volvo employees at dealerships nationwide put their sales skills to the test... to sell lemonade for Alex. By the end of 2004, one little girl had made a world of difference, raising $1.5 million. Since then, Volvo has shown unwavering support of ALSF, helping to keep the inspiration and legacy of Alex alive. To date, ALSF has raised more than $25 million.  How about a cup, two or three for you, your family and friends?  Click the sign and pour some today > > >
