I know I shouldn’t play favorites, but annual food event L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade, which will be held at UCLA this Saturday, is one of my top L.A. food festivals.

But it’s that inclusion of quality bartenders and craft cocktails that puts the event up and over.

WEST HARTFORD — A decade after Alex Scott lost her battle with cancer, the foundation she started, Alex's Lemonade Stand, has raised millions to help find a cure for the disease.

In an effort to raise visibility for the National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation is going the distance fighting childhood cancer this September by launching Alex’s Million Mile Run Walk and Ride.
