For the seventh consecutive year, The Malvern School, is proud to sponsor the CBS3 Alex Scott Phone Bank to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and help raise awareness and funding for research in the fight against pediatric cancer.
The Foundation emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra “Alex” Scott. In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Alex died in 2004 but the little girl left a big legacy proving how one idea can make a huge difference. 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. To date, the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation has raised more than $80 million towards fulfilling Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding over 450 research projects nationally.

The Malvern School has sponsored the Alex Scott PHONE BANK since 2008 and has also independently raised nearly $218,000 in private donations during the annual Malvern School Alex’s Lemonade Day held at each of their schools each July. This year the goal is to raise $100,000 during the Seventh Annual Malvern School Lemonade Day to be held on July 16, 2014 from 9:00 am - 6:00 pm at each of the 22 Malvern School locations in PA and NJ.
