BENEFITING OUR PARTNERS:
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. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3
charity, has raised more than $100 million toward fulfilling Alex’s dream of
finding a cure, funding over 475 pediatric cancer research projects nationally.

Serving more than 6,000 inpatients and 100,000 outpatients annually, Mattel Children's Hospital UCLA offers a full spectrum of primary and specialized medical care for infants, children and adolescents.

GameChanger Charity is a charitable organization that leverages technology and innovation to create revenue-generating business operations with proceeds used to help children and families suffering from cancer. Founded in 2007, GameChanger was started by entrepreneur Jim Carol after his son Taylor survived a 5-year battle with Leukemia at age 11. The charity provides direct support services to families battling cancer, helps pays the bills for families in need of financial relief and also delivers video game gift packages to children in hospitals.
