Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer

BROOKHAVEN, PA

Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) shares the vision of their founder and creator, Alexandra “Alex” Scott—a cure for all children with cancer. Their mission is to raise money and awareness of childhood cancer, it's causes, and primarily to fund research into new treatments and cures. They also seek to encourage and empower others, especially children, to get involved and make a difference for children with cancer.  

For years, I’ve donated my services to silent auctions, worked events, sung for donations to raise money, and donated my children’s time (they were willingly sacrificed) for this wonderful cause.

BE BOLD, BE BALD!

BOSTON, MA

Be Bold, Be Bald! is a national fundraising event held on the third Friday of October each year, and takes place wherever you are. Participants go bald by boldly wearing a bald cap (or very boldly shaving their head) to honor those who bravely fight cancer and raise money to help fight back.  Participants get sponsored for their bold move, and choose the charity they want their proceeds to benefit.  The purpose is to raise money for cancer charities, honor loved ones, and gain a little more understanding about one of the challenges many people with cancer face.  

Marie gives all of her Reiki students a "BE BOLD" bald cap with their Reiki certification.   Students are invited to join her team, "Marie And The Reiki Babies," to raise money and go bald for the day once a year.  Click on the link below to meet our team members and donate to our cause:

Child Guidance Resource Centers of Delaware County

HAVERTOWN, PA

Their mission is to provide high quality, community-based therapeutic, supportive, and preventive behavioral healthcare services to assess, treat and empower children, adolescents and families with mental health, developmental disability, and residential needs.

I donate my time to give Reiki to the staff on staff development days, donate services for fund raising events and auctions, and work with my therapy dog, Bella, with the center’s special needs students. I am proud of the work I do with the CGRC and to be of support to their amazing and compassionate staff.
