Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old 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 supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. Northwestern Mutual, through the Northwestern Mutual Foundation, announced its new multi-year philanthropic program to fight pediatric cancer.

The financial services company has teamed up with this leading national nonprofit organization focused on fighting childhood cancer and helping families, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). Through this partnership, Northwestern Mutual will activate a range of programs and events in communities across the country. To learn more, visit: www.alexslemonade.org
