1. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation hosted its sixth annual Lemon Ball presented by Volvo and The Toys ”R” Children’s Foundation with support from CIGNA. It took place at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown Hotel. The evening featured the presentation of the Alex Scott Crystal Cup to Harry Rose of the Rose Group Corporation, for his continued support of the foundation. Liz and Jay Scott, the parents of the late Alexandra “Alex” Scott, also presented awards to Natalie and Albert Gigliotti of Franklin, New Jersey, Foundation Volunteers of the Year and 17-year-old Riley Miller of Bowling Green, Kentucky, who was named Stand Host of the Year. Alex Scott passed away at the age of eight from childhood cancer. When Alex, who was diagnosed just before her first birthday, was four, she told her parents she wanted to set up a front-yard lemonade stand. She wanted to give the money to doctors to help them find a cure. Her first “Alex’s Lemonade Stand” held with the help of her older brother Patrick, raised an astonishing $2,000 in one day. This inspired people everywhere to start their own lemonade stands, donating the proceeds to her cause. Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation was started by her parents in 2005 to continue the work that Alex began. Their mission is simple: to raise money for, and awareness of, childhood cancer causes, especially research into new treatments and cures. Also to encourage and empower others, especially children, to get involved and make a difference for children with cancer. Gala co-chairs Melanie and Billy King and Liz and Jay Scott paused for a photo during the cocktail reception.
