Couldn't make it to our 8th Annual Lemon Ball on January 11? Watch our new video giving a recap of the night and you'll feel like you were there!



Although the video speaks for itself, highlights of the night included:
  • An amazing Fund a Cure portion of the evening where the inspiring words of childhood cancer hero Brooke Mulford with help from fellow hero Charlotte McAuliffe and Charlotte's sister Emily, inspired guests to raise more than $100,000 in a matter of minutes.
  • Emotional award presentations from brave childhood cancer heroes to ALSF's honorees of the evening including:
    • Alex Scott Crystal Cup Recipient: Jocelyn Hillman
    • Stand Hosts of the Year: The Rissolo Family and The Taggart Family (we couldn't pick just one, so we honored both incredible families!)
    • Volunteers of the Year: Dash Wallooppillai and Family
  • Emotional words from Liz Scott (read her blog post where she recounts a recent dream she had about Alex) and an eye opening talk from Jay Scott noting the incidence of childhood cancer further emphasizing the importance of raising funds for childhood cancer research.
  • Cocktails, dessert and dancing to the sounds of Brandywine Valley Talent’s “Strangers” on a beautiful dance floor designed by Street Media allowed everyone to kick back and have fun!
All of the above culminated in nearly $900,000 being raised in just one night - incredible!
