2025 Alex Scott: A Stand for Hope Telethon raises more than $8.4 million for fight against childhood cancer
CBS News Philadelphia's 19th annual Alex Scott: A Stand For Hope Telethon raised a record-breaking $8.4 million Wednesday for the fight against childhood cancer. At least $8,477,342 was raised, which is more than $1 million over the previous record of $7.3 million raised last year. The Great Hall at the CBS Philadelphia studios was buzzing all day as an army of volunteers took donations and honored the memory of Alex Scott, the little girl who started it all. Alex's parents, Liz and Jay Scott, joined us to spearhead the effort. Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott. In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced 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. Alex died in 2004, but this little girl left a big legacy. This year marks 25 years of Alex's Lemonade Stand, which has raised more than $300 million since Alex's first stand. There's still time to give! You can donate online at or with Venmo @AlexsLemonadeStandFoundation (include CBS in the What's this for comment section). You can also text CBSALEX to 44-321.
