Cancer is a disease that impacts the lives of many on a daily basis. Before it took the life of Alexandra “Alex” Scott, she had the vision of holding a lemonade stand to raise money to help doctors find a cure for childhood cancer. Although Alex lost her battle to cancer at the early age of 8, her stand lives on as an inspiration.

The fourth annual Auntie Anne’s fundraising campaign to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation begins on Monday, August 3, and runs through Sunday, September 27.

• Give now and help end childhood cancer.

Donations can also be given by visiting any store location and purchasing a pretzel ribbon icon for $1.

On August 20, National Lemonade Day, participating Auntie Anne’s locations will be selling yellow “hope” bracelets and a pretzel ribbon icon for a $5 donation. One hundred percent of these proceeds will go to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Find out where you can purchase your bracelet.
