September Support for Alex’s Lemonade Stand
Last month the team at Winged Foot Title was able to donate $310 to the Children’s Home Society of Southwest Florida. And we’re keeping it with the kids in September, which happens to be Childhood Cancer Awareness Month.
In 2000, Alex Scott set up a lemonade stand in her front yard and raised $2,000 to fight childhood cancer. She was four. Some three years earlier, Alex had been diagnosed with neuroblastoma. By eight, when that childhood cancer took Alex’s life, she had raised $1,000,000. Alex’s full story.
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer was formed on Alex’s ninth birthday in 2005. Since then, the foundation has raised “more than $127 million . . . to:
- Fund more than 650 cutting-edge research projects
- Create a travel program to help support families of children receiving treatment
- Develop resources to help people everywhere affected by childhood cancer.”
In memory of Alex and in support of our friends, family and customers who have been touched by childhood cancer, we are honored to support Alex’s foundation this September. As always, a portion of every closing will be donated to ALSF. In the meantime, we encourage you to check out http://www.alexslemonade.org/ and GET INVOLVED. You can also engage with ALSF on social media (Facebook; Twitter; YouTube; Instagram; Pinterest; and, LinkedIn). Let’s all like, share and contribute our way to fighting childhood cancer.
