Support organization
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation provides national family services alongside its childhood-cancer research mission. Travel For Care helps eligible families reach distant treatment, trials, or qualifying nonstandard care through a provider-submitted request, while the public Resource Navigator form can connect a family with individualized outside resources and clinical-trial information. SuperSibs sends age-specific comfort materials to U.S. siblings ages 4–18 and has a distinct grief-and-loss track after a sibling dies. Flashes of Hope offers free portrait sessions through participating hospitals and childhood-cancer camps rather than by an always-open national family application. Families can also request or use free treatment journals, school materials, updated childhood-cancer guidebooks, a doctor finder, and a searchable resource directory.
