Beginning June 25, Volvo Cars of North America is selling some very special cups of lemonade to raise money for the great work that Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is doing to find a cure for pediatric cancer. For only $1 each, you can purchase virtual cups of lemonade at our online lemonade stand. And, to help spread the word about the important work that ALSF is doing, you can share cups from our stand via email with family and friends. One hundred percent of the proceeds go to ALSF.
Volvo’s been close friends with ALSF for many years and we wanted to make this one of the greatest fundraisers for pediatric cancer ever, so Volvo is kicking off the grand opening of its stand by purchasing the first 200,000 cups.

Alex and her lemonade stands first caught the attention of Volvo in 2002 when she received an inaugural Volvo for life Award nomination. The awards program honors hometown heroes doing extraordinary things in their communities. Alex’s determination and unwavering support for pediatric cancer research earned her a Volvo for life Award at the 2003 ceremony in New York City. Despite her deteriorating health, Alex continued to raise money through her stands.
In 2004, Alex set a remarkable goal: Call upon the nation to raise $1 million to fight pediatric cancer before the year's end. Sadly, Alex passed away that year at the age of 8, having raised an amazing $700,000. Volvo made Alex a promise that we would help her raise the million dollars. Shortly after her passing, Volvo stepped in to help Alex reach that goal. Thousands of Volvo employees at dealerships nationwide put their sales skills to the test Oct. 9-11 — to sell lemonade for Alex. By the end of 2004, one little girl had made a world of difference, raising $1.5 million. Since then, Volvo has shown unwavering support of ALSF, helping to keep the inspiration and legacy of Alex alive. To date, ALSF has raised more than $19 million.
