Waldwick Chamber of Commerce 5K Run and 1 Mile Walk

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of 4-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who was fighting cancer and wanted to raise money to find cures for all children with cancer. Her spirit and determination inspired others to support her cause, and when she passed away at the age of 8, she had raised $1 million. Since then, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement. Today, ALSF is one of the leading funders of pediatric cancer research in the U.S. and Canada raising more than $250 million so far, funding over 1,000 research projects and providing programs to families affected by childhood cancer.

On May 4th 2025 through the generous donations of our participants we reached our goal of $2,500. The Waldwick Chamber of Commerce had matched the $2,500 and donated $5,000 to Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. We are all so grateful for your support in fighting this deadly disease. Let's surpass our goal this year!!!
