Alex's Lemonade Stand
Kappa Kappa Psi, the band fraternity, is spearheading a charitable endeavoron Fridays
before home games (in conjunction with the Kids Klub) called "Alexıs Lemonade
Stand." Alexandra Scott was diagnosed with neuroblastoma (a form of childhood
cancer) shortly before her 2nd birthday. At the age of 4, after receiving a stem cell
transplant, she told her parents she wanted to have a lemonade stand to help
raise money for childhood cancer research. Although Alex lost her battle with cancer
at the age of 8, she raised over $1 million by that time, and her memory lives on
through her foundation, which to date has raised over $25 million. So please buy
some lemonade at Friday Tiger Band rehearsals, and help us help children with
cancer. To learn more, go to: www.alexslemonade.org.
