Why this foundation
Why Alex's Lemonade Stand?
It started with one stand
In 2000, 4-year-old Alexandra "Alex" Scott held a lemonade stand to help find a cure for all children with cancer—a mission that grew into a national movement.
Research at scale
The foundation has funded a huge body of childhood cancer research—over $250 million raised since that first stand.
Natural for health IT
We work every day to improve care through technology. Supporting pediatric cancer research extends that mission in a deeply human way.
Meet Captain
Captain, our service dog, has been a fixture at healthcare IT conferences including ViVE and HIMSS. He helps us start conversations and raise awareness for Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation at every event we attend.
Come say hello to Captain at our next event and learn how you can support childhood cancer research.
