21 branch locations in Southeastern and South-Central Pennsylvania will host lemonade stands to benefit Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation this June
Philadelphia, PA – May 18, 2023 – S&T Bank branch locations will be turning lots of lemons into lemonade June 3 – 11 to raise money to find a cure for childhood cancer, one cup at a time. The bank is partnering with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a non-profit organization whose mission is to change the lives of children with cancer by funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer. Team members across S&T Bank’s branch locations in Southeastern and South-Central Pennsylvania will be hosting lemonade stands and collecting donations to help fund lifesaving research for children in our communities.
“S&T Bank is honored to participate in ALSF’s Lemonade Days to help in the fight against pediatric cancer.” said Jason Forman, Director of Consumer Banking for S&T Bank. “These small acts of kindness can lead to big results, and we hope our communities will join us to help make a difference.”
“This is a tangible example of S&T team members making people our purpose and going above and beyond to build a better future together,” shared Chris McComish, Chief Executive Officer of S&T Bank. “I’m proud to see our teams participating in this nationwide event.”
Lemonade Days is a nationwide event where ALSF supporters host lemonade stands to raise money for childhood cancer research and awareness for ALSF’s mission.
This annual tradition started with ALSF’s 8-year-old founder, Alex Scott. She set a goal of raising $1 million for her doctors to help kids like her fight cancer. Inspired by her actions, people across the country hosted their own stands, and Alex would see her $1 million goal reached before she passed away in 2004.
“We are delighted that S&T Bank chose to join us for Lemonade Days this June! Their team members and customers will truly help us make a difference for kids with cancer,” said Liz Scott, Alex’s mom a Co-Executive Director of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
S&T Bank and ALSF invite all community members to come out to their local S&T branch locations and make a difference in childhood cancer research, all with just one cup of lemonade.
For those who cannot make it, donations will be accepted online at Alex's Lemonade Stand. To learn more about the event and find a participating branch, visit stbank.com/ALSF.
About Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of 4-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who was fighting cancer and wanted to raise money to find cures for all children with cancer. Her spirit and determination inspired others to support her cause, and when she passed away at the age of 8, she had raised $1 million. Since then, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement. Today, ALSF is one of the leading funders of pediatric cancer research in the U.S. and Canada raising more than $250 million so far, funding over 1,000 research projects and providing programs to families affected by childhood cancer.
