 Category : Gifts/SpecialtyThe Lemon Bouquet to Benefit Alex's Lemonade StandPrice: USD52.95 In 2000, a 4 year old cancer patient named Alexandra 'Alex' Scott announced a seemingly simple idea- she was holding a lemonade stand to raise money to help her 'doctors' find a cure for kids with cancer. The idea was put into action by Alex and her older brother, Patrick, when they set up the first 'Alex's Lemonade Stand for Childhood Cancer' on their front lawn in July of 2000.For the next four years, despite her deteriorating health, Alex held an annual lemonade stand to raise money for childhood cancer research. Following her inspirational example, thousands of lemonade stands and other fundraising events have been held across the country by children, schools, businesses and organizations, all to benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for childhood cancer. On August 1st, 2004, Alex died peacefully at the age of 8 -- she had raised over $1 million for childhood cancer research in her short lifetime.Alex's spirited determination to raise awareness and money for all childhood cancerOther products from Kremp Florist |
