Liz Scott is the Co-Executive Director of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), one of the largest independent funders of pediatric cancer research in the US. ALSF emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of her daughter, 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 other children with cancer. In her lifetime, Alex would raise over $1 million before she passed away in 2004 at the age of 8. Since then, Liz and her husband, Jay have worked alongside hundreds of thousands of supporters across the country to carry on her legacy of hope.
To date, ALSF has raised more than $300 million toward fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, having funded over 1,000 pediatric cancer research projects, and assisted more than 10,000 families through their national support programs.
