The 4th Annual Lemon Ball for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation’s annual gala celebration, The Lemon Ball, was a smashing success. Held at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown on Saturday, January 9, 2010.  The Lemon Ball presented by Volvo, with major support from Cigna, saw record attendance with over 800 guests, and set a new record for funds raised – over $605,000!

In addition to these achievements, the gala welcomed a performance by Grammy nominated recording artist and ALSF supporter Jordin Sparks. It truly was a magical night, honoring many influential volunteers and supporters of the Foundation, and reminding us why we are all here – to find a cure for all childhood cancers.

In January 2010 Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation turned Philadelphia yellow with the Lemon Ball gala celebration!

The annual Lemon Ball event continued to grow this year with over 800 guests, as supporters from all corners of the country came together for a fun, memorable, and most importantly, inspiring evening to raise critical funds in the battle against childhood cancer.  The evening began with a short program featuring the words of Liz & Jay Scott (Alex’s parents and 2010 Lemon Ball Co-Chairs), followed by a fun-filled night of dancing and auctions.

For the past three years, the Lemon Ball has attracted more than 500 guests from the Greater Philadelphia Area and beyond, raising nearly $1.5 million toward achieving Alex’s dream – a cure for all children with cancer.

The event included:

• Elegant Yellow-tie (optional) cocktail reception and silent and super silent auctions.
• Presentation of the Alex Scott Crystal Cup award to Jano Cohen & Jeremy Nowak for their continued support of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
• Presentation honoring the 2010 Stand Host of The Year and 2010 Volunteer of The Year.
• Live auction featuring one of a kind experiences and packages.
• Dancing to the wonderful sounds of BVT (Brandywine Valley Talent).
