WYNNEWOOD, PA — Alex's Lemonade Stand has been raising money for and supporting children diagnosed with cancer for two decades, and the public is invited to celebrate that milestone.

The event will be held at Penn Wynne Elementary, 250 Haverford Road in Wynnewood.

Attendees will be treated to food, games, crafts, raffles, races, and sweet lemonade sips.

In the afternoon, everyone will gather for a butterfly release to commemorate and celebrate the lives of all children affected by cancer.

Entrance is free, but for $25 you can get a limited-edition Alex’s “Original” Lemonade Stand T-Shirt, and covers all donations for games, food, activities and lemonade.

Alex Scott was diagnosed with neuroblastoma just before her first birthday. At 4, she told her family she wanted to host a lemonade stand and use the profits to help find a cure for her cancer.

Alex died in 2004 at 8 years old, and in 2005 her family established Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. To date, the foundation has raised more than $300 million and funded 1,500-plus research grants to help kids fight cancer.
