Each store will also set up Alex's Lemonade Stands and sell Chavez for Charity bracelets with the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation benefiting from 100 percent of the proceeds.

Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation was founded by Alexandra "Alex" Scott, who at age 4 held her first lemonade stand to raise money for doctors to help other kids like herself who were battling cancer. Alex died in August of 2004, at the age of 8, knowing she had helped raise more than $1 million to help find a cure for the disease which took her life.
