The cancer charity that began with a child's lemonade stand in West Hartford has hit a major fundraising milestone of $100 million.
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is named for Alex Scott, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma just before her first birthday. At age 4, she began a lemonade stand to raise money for children's cancer research.
Alex died in 2004 at the age of 8, having raised more than $1 million.
Alex's parents, Jay and Liz Scott, have carried on her legacy and grown the small foundation into a fundraising powerhouse.
