Alex Scott

Alex Scott (2000-2004) founded Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation at age 4 while battling neuroblastoma, inspiring a childhood cancer funding movement that has raised over $250 million for research. Her foundation funds over 1,000 research grants and patient services and advocates for increased federal funding for pediatric cancer research — a historically underfunded area where less than 4% of NCI funding goes to childhood cancer despite it being the leading disease killer of children.
