Liz Scott spoke Wednesday at Alvernia University for the CURE-sader club's annual awareness night for pediatric cancer.
The mother of Alex Scott, namesake of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, said she thought her daughter would raise about $5 for pediatric cancer when she set up a lemonade stand outside their house.
Last month, the foundation hit the $100 million mark.
"She emphasized that it doesn't if matter if you raise $1 or $100,000; you're doing it for a good cause," said Jamie Dearie, CURE-sader president.
About 80 people attended the awareness night, which featured six other speakers including Dr. Dolores Bertoti, an Alvernia professor and breast cancer survivor, and Zach Dearie, a Hodgkins lymphoma survivor and Jamie's brother.
