Alex's Lemonade Stand
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). At the age of 4, Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of volunteers across the country carrying on her legacy of hope.
Mark your calendars and visit your local Auntie Anne’s store*
for Free Pretzel Day on Saturday, March 3 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. to
receive one complimentary Original or Cinnamon Sugar Pretzel – no
strings attached. Auntie Anne’s expects to give away one million of its
freshly-baked pretzels during the nationwide invitation for individuals
to fulfill their snacking obsession with a fresh, hot Auntie Anne’s Pretzel.
After experiencing a mouth-watering, golden brown soft pretzel, guests will be encouraged to visit Auntie Anne’s Facebook page
and complete a three-question survey about their free pretzel
experience. Five hundred entrants will be randomly selected to win a
limited edition Auntie Anne’s T-shirt.
Free Pretzel Day also provides the opportunity to introduce guests to Auntie Anne’s new national charitable partner, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation
(ALSF). Throughout 2012, Auntie Anne’s will help change children’s
lives by fighting childhood cancer with this nonprofit organization,
which is committed to raising money and awareness of childhood cancer
causes (primarily research into treatments and cures). Auntie Anne’s
will embark on its inaugural nationwide fundraising event for ALSF this
summer.
See you on March 3!
Brianna's video had my entire family watching. Its people like her that
I admire. This month my Mom and I are looking for charities to put
on my page. Early on my parents have taught me to pick something that
is important to me. I learned about Alex Scott and her Lemonade stand
when I was really young and since then I try to help anything that has to
do with sick kids. That's all. One day I hope to write a song about
all these kids. ~ Kayla Starr
