Fantastic Wrap-Up Celebration and Way to Celebrate Our 2015 AVLS Project

WOW!! What an incredible and inspirational wrap-up celebration event yesterday! I am just in awe of all the wonderful work you and your kids put into your stands and your fundraising efforts! Each and every one of you made a difference by participating in this project and helping to increase awareness about childhood cancer and to raise desperately needed funds to help get closer to a cure!

First off - humongous thanks to our uber awesome and professional VJ team at Affiliated High School of Chung Hsing University!! You guys rocked it and were so incredible with your set changes and costumes and professional VJ'ing of our fast-paced celebration wrap-up event. Big thanks for all your hard work in making it all look and flow so beautifully! We are also grateful to you for bringing in your wonderful exotic guest performances, too!

If you missed a moment of our wrap-up celebration, you can always view the now archive at         Feel free to share this with parents, colleagues, administrators or in any follow-up posts you may do. 

Please - if you haven't already, please email me the final exact total amount of money raised by your school/stand so that I can include it in our final tally for the ALSF foundation. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about how or where to send in your money raised.

Finally, we are over the moon excited that together we were able to raise over $8,000.00 dollars for the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation! This desperately needed money is helping to bring the latest and most promising life-saving treatments to seriously ill children and to help fund leading-edge cancer research that will one day lead to a cure to end childhood cancers worldwide. To learn more about where the money we raise goes please see http://www.alexslemonade.org/how-your-donation-helps

Thank you all for all the incredible work and effort that you and your students put into this project. Together, we are making a difference... one cup at a time.


Hope to see all of you next year in 2016!!
