Press
Release Body: 1-800 LEMON LAW, the Nationally-recognized
Lemon Law and Consumer Advocacy Firm of Kimmel
& Silverman, will sponsor a live telethon benefiting
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation
for Childhood Cancer. The live, call-in special will
air from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. on KYW TV, the Philadelphia
CBS affiliate.
The
Foundation is named in honor of Alexandra Scott,
a brave little girl who ultimately lost her life to cancer at
the age of eight. Four years prior to her passing, Alex developed
her own way to raise funds so that other children would not have
to endure what she had suffered. She opened a lemonade stand on
her lawn and all the monies would go toward cancer research. Her
parents, Liz and Jay Scott, have carried on Alex's legacy, devoting
their lives to raising awareness and funds for cancer research.
The
telethon kicks off the 5th annual ALSF Lemonade Days,
a 3-day national event where volunteers host lemonade stands throughout
the Country, all raising monies to fight pediatric cancer and
to fund new research studies. Last year, during Lemonade Days,
more than 1500 lemonade stands raised over $1 million toward Alex's
efforts.
"It
is difficult to think of a more worthy cause than Alex's
Lemonade Stand," says 1-800 LEMON LAW Founding
Partner Craig Thor Kimmel.
"Alex's Lemonade Stand is a grass roots effort
by every day people who care, helping those who need it most.
Our firm was founded on the same ideal of helping those in need
and doing so without asking anything in return. We salute Alex's
Lemonade Stand for their continued efforts in curing
this horrible disease."

About
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation:
Alex's
Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front
yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra "Alex"
Scott (1996-2004). At the age of 4, 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 volunteers across
the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex's
Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity,
has raised more than $19 million towards fulfilling Alex's dream
of finding a cure, funding over 80 research projects nationally
including those examining leukemia, brain tumors, neuroblastoma,
Wilm's tumor, lymphoma, and osteosarcoma among others. For more
