L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade Gourmet Fund Raiser for Childhood Cancer Returns

After a three-year hiatus, this celebrity chef fundraiser supporting Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, ALSF is back again on Sept. 23, 2023 at UCLA’s Royce Quad. It celebrates the exceptionally inspiring story of one child’s determination and courage to make her brief life matter.

While Alex, from the age of one, was battling cancer, she started a lemonade stand at the age of four to help her doctors find a cure. She and her brothers initially raised $2,000 and before Alex died at the age of 8, she raised over one million dollars and inspired the world to continue the fight. The foundation now supports research that has led to remarkable breakthroughs.
The L.A. event attracts celebrity chefs and mixologists from across the nation, all as eager as the guests to add their efforts to the cause. Check out these chefs and their creations from the last tasting event to whet your appetite for what is to come this year. Then get tickets now for this sell out culinary extravaganza.
