Premier Research’s staff across the United States took part in National Lemonade Days on Friday June 8, 2012. Employees in Austin, Phoenix, Philadelphia, Quincy and Salt Lake City set up lemonade stands at their office locations to raise funds for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF).

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. ALSF has raised over $50 million for childhood cancer, and funded more than 200 research projects at over 66 institutions.
