Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation was founded by Alexandra "Alex" Scott, who at age 4 held her first lemonade stand to raise money for doctors to help other kids like herself who were battling cancer.

Alex died in August of 2004, at age 8, knowing she had helped raise more than $1 million to help find a cure for the disease which took her life.
