A Sweet Lemonade Stand Record
When four-year-old Alex Scott, founder of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), set up her first lemonade stand in her front yard in 2000, raising more than $2,000, she began to show the world how small acts of generosity can make a big impact.
Of course, that was just the start. To date, ALSF has raised more than $150 million for childhood cancer with the help of communities and partners across the country making a difference … one cup at a time.
The Malvern School is proud to be a strong supporter of ALSF for more than 10 years, and, like Alex, we continually challenge ourselves and our community to find ways to have an even greater impact on the lives of children with cancer.
As of 2017, we raised more than $640,000 to fight pediatric cancer, and in 2018, we’re setting out to raise $120,000 (that’s $13,000 more than last year’s total) to coincide with our 20th anniversary.
Every year our Malvern School Lemonade Stand, held at each of our schools, is one of the major fundraising events that helps us reach our goal – and we’re excited to announce we raised more than $35,000 at last Friday’s lemonade stand alone! That’s 11 percent more than the $30,000 we raised in one day last year, setting a new Malvern School record!
Thank you to all of our directors, teachers, friends and families for your incredible support!
We would also like to give a special congratulations to the top fundraising schools for this year’s Lemonade Stand Day: Glen Mills, Downingtown and Blue Bell. Way to go!
