Fifteen years ago, the beginnings of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) grew from the front yard lemonade stand of 4-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.
A month-long campaign kicking off 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, including Cloquet, will work toward topping the $6 million mark in 2015.
“As a longtime supporter of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, it is great to see Applebee’s support this amazing organization,” said Jeff Warden, CEO of The Rose Group. “Year after year we see the overwhelming generosity of our guests and associates as we band together to fight childhood cancer. We are humbled by what Applebee’s was able to achieve last year and look forward to another incredible fundraising campaign this year.”
