Seald Sweet will actively promote this partnership through the creation of a limited-edition packaging, as each label will feature the foundation logo from June to October.
Additionally, Seald Sweet will donate a variety of fresh fruits to a special culinary event organized by ALSF in Philadelphia on June 10th. This extraordinary family-friendly event brings together 30 renowned chefs from across the country, who will present their signature tasting dishes.

About Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation
Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of 4-year-old Alexandra “Alex” Scott, who was fighting cancer and wanted to raise money to find cures for all children with cancer. Her spirit and determination inspired others to support her cause, and when she passed away at the age of 8, she had raised $1 million. Since then, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement. Today, ALSF is one of the leading funders of pediatric cancer research in the U.S. and Canada raising more than $250 million so far, funding over 1,000 research projects and providing programs to families affected by childhood cancer.
