It all began with one lemonade stand in a little girl’s front yard.
At just four years old, Alexandra (Alex) Scott decided to help raise money for research as she herself was battling childhood cancer. To date, Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) has raised more than 300 million dollars for the cause.
In 2023, S&T Bank partnered with ALSF for the first time, and in 2024, S&T expanded that support Bank-wide. Inspired by Alex, who passed away in 2004 after fundraising tirelessly, ALSF continues to honor her legacy as a non-profit organization whose mission is to change the lives of children with cancer.
The organization funds impactful research, raises awareness, supports families, and empowers everyone to help find a cure for childhood cancer. This year, the Bank is again hosting lemonade days across its entire operating footprint. S&T Bank’s Chief Consumer and Business Banking Officer, Jason Forman, speaks to the Bank’s dedication to the partnership with ALSF, saying, “This effort is an important, tangible example of how we are making people our purpose by raising money to fund research for a cure. I continue to be inspired by the creativity and energy that our team members bring to Lemonade Days, working as one team toward a common goal.”
According to S&T’s Jodi Presloid, Director of Branch Banking, “Our dedicated S&T employees who organize and
execute lemonade days have an enthusiasm that is contagious and motivates our customers and communities to respond with kindness and generosity. This fundraiser truly honors the legacy of Alex, who sought to help other children afflicted with cancer, and is one way that we can live out our people-forward purpose in the communities we serve.”
2025 Lemonade days will run May 31-Jun. 7. Stands will be held at S&T locations across Western and Central Pennsylvania into Philadelphia, as well as in Columbus, Ohio.
“We are honored to have the support of S&T Bank for the third year in a row,” stated Liz Scott, Alex’s Mom and Co-Executive Director at Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. “We are thankful for the commitment of the S&T team and its volunteers at their locations throughout Pennsylvania and Ohio. It is wonderful to see their customers and community continue to get behind the cause and make a difference for children fighting
cancer!”
