Alex was diagnosed with neuroblastoma, a type of childhood cancer, just two days before her first birthday. She had surgery on her first birthday to remove a large tumor. Doctors told the family that if she survived, she would never walk because when the tumor was removed it comprised her blood supply and her spinal cord was damaged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She defied the doctor\u2019s initial prognosis and worked tirelessly to learn to walk and in doing so, displayed her fighting spirit that lives on today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.alexslemonade.org\/about\/meet-alex\" target=\"_blank\"><\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alexslemonade.org\/about\/meet-alex?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=ALSBobsParntership&utm_content=Alexhyperlink\">Al<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alexslemonade.org\/about\/meet-alex?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=ALSBobsParntership&utm_content=Alexhyperlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"e (opens in a new tab)\">e<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/www.alexslemonade.org\/about\/meet-alex?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=ALSBobsParntership&utm_content=Alexhyperlink\">x<\/a> was just four-years-old she opened her first lemonade stand outside of the family\u2019s home in West Hartford, CT. She raised over $2,000 that first day. Alex continued to run lemonade stands every year until she passed away in 2004. At the time of her death, Alex had raised $1 million dollars and had inspired a nation to raise money to help fight childhood cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The work of Alex\u2019s Lemonade Stand Foundation continues today with over $150 million dollars raised since Alex opened her first stand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re super excited to have a new partner,\u201d said Liz Scott, Alex\u2019s mother. \u201cI\u2019ve been wanting to partner with Bob\u2019s so this is very dear to my heart, being from this area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Grand Opening<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The students set up the stand during the lunch waves on June 8th in the cafeteria of MHS to help raise money for Alex\u2019s Lemonade Stand Foundation. With music pumping out of a PA system, the students celebrated their project, handed out cups of lemonade and rallied together to support a great cause. They raised $414.77 in just a few short hours and gave the project a great start!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But that was just the beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A few weeks later \u2013 and a day after school was officially out for the summer \u2013 a group of students from the Young Men\u2019s and Young Women\u2019s Leadership Groups, their advisors and Bergeron hopped onto a yellow school bus for one final time this year and headed over to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mybobs.com?utm_medium=content&utm_source=BobsBlog&utm_campaign=ALSBobsParntership&utm_content=Bobshyperlink\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"Bob\u2019s Discount Furniture (opens in a new tab)\">Bob\u2019s Discount Furniture<\/a> for the public unveiling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Surrounded by town officials, representatives from Manchester Public Schools and executives from Bob\u2019s Discount Furniture, the stand was officially unveiled and declared open for business on June 27.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lemonade stand will be open every Sunday in July from 10am-4pm in front of our Manchester, CT store and will be staffed by the members of the Young Men\u2019s and Young Women\u2019s Leadership Groups.

As soon as officials at MHS were first approached by Bob\u2019s about a potential partnership to build a lemonade stand, they jumped at the opportunity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOur work at Manchester High School is very much these days about connecting students to all of the learning that happens outside of the four walls of our building,\u201d said Mark Ruede, assistant principal. \u201cSo, this partnership and this opportunity that [Bob\u2019s] presented to us was a no-brainer that we needed to get involved with and it provides the opportunity for kids to learn the kinds of skills we want them to have that they\u2019re going to need to be successful outside of the world of our four walls when they\u2019re done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Bob's Discount Furniture Announces Partnership with Alex's Lemonade Stand and Manchester High School\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Zet5M6VOt3E?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>And it\u2019s an opportunity that students and Bergeron\u2019s woodshop class and the members of the Young Men\u2019s and Young Women\u2019s Leadership Groups fully embraced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Xavier Pica, a junior at MHS, volunteered his time to hand out lemonade and collect donations at MHS and will also help staff the stand at Bob\u2019s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI learned a lot,\u201d said Pica. \u201cNot to think about yourself, to worry about others and think about people around you and their situations because this is childhood cancer research; this affects a lot of kids.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jennifer Vignone is the co-advisor of the Young Women\u2019s Leadership Group and teaches literature and the humanities at MHS and said this project helps reinforce the messages that she highlights in the classroom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis really puts into practical application a lot of the empathy that we try to teach,\u201d said Vignone. \u201cThey hopefully may never experience knowing someone with cancer or childhood cancer, but just because you don\u2019t experience it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t feel for someone else and I think that\u2019s the core of what we teach in the classroom, now very much applied in the real world.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The final echoes of the much-anticipated last bell of the school day had long since vacated the hallways of Manchester High School in Manchester, Connecticut on a beautiful May day, yet a group of students remained.
