Alex’s Lemonade Stand at Adelphi

Health and Wellness peer educators at Adelphi University will host their first Alex's lemonade stand on campus Sunday.

Aug. 25 is move-in day for thousands of students gearing up for the 2013-14 academic year. Lemonade will be sold at the Quad between 5-6 p.m. to raise funds for pediatric cancer research.

In 2000, 4-year-old cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott started a fundraising movement that has gone on to raise millions of dollars to help find a cure for childhood cancer. Alex, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, died in 2004 at the age of 8.

Her mission lives on at lemonade stands across the country.
