PatchCast: FishHawk Boy Raises Money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation

Harrison Godwin, 7, at the Fishhawk community garage sale April 9 sold lemonade and cupcakes to help raise money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand.
If you have yet to hear about Alex’s Lemonade Stand, it’s a fund that helps raise money for children with cancer. It was started by Alexandra “Alex” Scott who was battling with cancer herself. In 2000, 4-year-old 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.
