The Childhood Cancer Blog
Thanks to another amazing L.A.Loves Alex’s Lemonade event, more than $530,000 was raised for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and the fight against childhood cancer – in just one afternoon! The event at Culver Studios Mansion on Sept. 28 sold out with more than 1,700 supporters attending including over 30 chefs who donated their time to prepare and serve their delicious dishes; celebrity supporters such as Jimmy Kimmel, Neil Patrick Harris and David Burtka, Kirsten Vangsness and Bailee Madison (just to name a few); as well as childhood cancer heroes Elijah Herman and Jordan Vincent.  |

From the aromatic smells of barbeque emanating from Adam Perry Lang’s station to the delicious pizza served by Chris Bianco – guests enjoyed tastings as well as refreshing drinks from participating mixologists. The warm weather kept the lemonade stand busy where a number of kids in attendance helped to serve up icy glasses of our signature drink. |

Amidst the fun, childhood cancer hero Elijah Herman (on what happened to be the day before his sixth birthday) spoke of his personal battle with childhood cancer, which he has been fighting since he was 3, and why it’s so important to support research to find cures. His message resonated with everyone as just minutes later; $50,000 was raised to fund a research grant in Elijah’s name- awesome! |

Lively auctions and poignant words from Liz and Jay Scott as well as hosts Suzanne Goin, David Lentz and Caroline Styne rounded out the afternoon that showcased the love that L.A. truly has for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and all children with cancer.  |
