The resolution permanently designates January 18th as Alexandra Alex Scott Day in New Jersey to honor the legacy of Alexandra "Alex" Scott, who was diagnosed with neuroblastoma at a young age and became an inspiring figure in the fight against childhood cancer. After undergoing treatment, Alex initiated a lemonade stand to raise funds for her doctors and other children battling cancer, which ultimately led to the creation of the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation by her parents after her passing. The foundation continues to support childhood cancer research and raise awareness about the disease.
The resolution calls for the Governor to issue an annual proclamation recognizing January 18th as Alexandra Alex Scott Day, encouraging public officials and citizens to observe the day with appropriate activities and programs. This initiative aims to commemorate Alex's birthday, raise awareness about childhood cancer, and celebrate her enduring impact through the foundation's ongoing efforts.
