Fifteen years ago, the beginnings of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) grew from the front yard lemonade stand of four-year-old cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott.
Today, the Foundation bearing her name has become one of the nation's leading philanthropic organizations in support of pediatric cancer research. Though Scott passed away in 2004, her foundation lives on.
A month-long campaign kicked off on June 29 marks the 11th consecutive year that franchisees of Applebee's Neighborhood Grill & Bar have supported Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. Coming off a record of more than $1 million fundraising proceeds generated in 2014, and nearly $5 million raised since 2005, more than 870 Applebee's restaurants nationwide are working toward topping the $6 million mark in 2015.
