In August of 2004, Alex passed away at the age of 8, knowing
that, with the help of others, she had raised more than $1 million to help find
a cure for the disease that took her life. Alex's family - including brothers
Patrick, Eddie, and Joey - and supporters around the world are committed to
continuing her inspiring legacy through Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, which
is one of the largest charities supporting pediatric cancer research in the
United States
Alex's Lemonade Stand for Life is the exciting partnership
between Volvo and Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). Over seven years ago, Volvo met Alex Scott,
an amazing young girl, and joined in her thirst to help fund a cure for
pediatric cancer. Alex's courage and ingenuity were the inspiration for the Volvo
for Life Butterfly Award. Her legacy is
very much alive.
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is dedicated to realizing
Alex's dream of eradicating childhood cancer. Donate to ALSF and help us bring
life changing and lifesaving treatments to more children with cancer. To date,
ALSF has funded more than 250 research projects at more than 70 institutions.
In addition, ALSF is able to provide financial and educational resources to
families through our childhood cancer programs. Our impact is powered by your
generosity and dedication to our cause.
