FLYING BISCUIT CAF? RAISES FUNDS FOR CHILDHOOD CANCER RESEARCH

ATLANTA (May 20, 2015) – The Flying Biscuit Café (www.flyingbiscuit.com), a nationally recognized eclectic neighborhood restaurant, announces its partnership with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), involved nonprofit dedicated to finding cures for childhood cancer. Throughout June, participating Flying Biscuit Café locations will donate a percentage of all June kid’s meal sales to the organization.

About Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott (1996-2004). 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 supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $100 million toward fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding over 475 pediatric cancer research projects nationally.
