ACE Cash Express Raises Over $94,000 to Aid Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation’s Pediatric Cancer Research Efforts

In a heartwarming display of generosity and community spirit, ACE Cash Express has raised an impressive $94,245 during its annual fundraising event named the 'Give A Little Campaign,' aimed at benefiting the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF). Founded by the courageous Alexandra Scott, who, at just four years of age, began selling lemonade to raise funds for childhood cancer research, ALSF has grown to become the largest independent charity in the U.S. focused on this cause. Since its inception, ALSF has funded over 1,500 medical research grants, playing a vital role in the development of better treatment options and striving for a cure for children afflicted with this devastating disease.

This year’s campaign carried a personal touch, as one of ACE’s store managers, whose two-year-old grandson is battling a rare malignant brain tumor, poignantly highlighted the significance of ALSF's support for families facing pediatric cancer. His journey was showcased in the store, symbolizing the hope and courage of countless families affected by this illness.

Liz Scott, the Co-Executive Director of ALSF and mother of Alex, expressed heartfelt gratitude towards ACE, stating, "Since 2017, ACE Cash Express has been a valued partner of Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation. We are honored to be part of their Give A Little Campaign each year, showing that every dollar truly counts in the fight against childhood cancer. We thank them and their customers for their generosity and commitment to the cause."

Over the past seven years, ACE Cash Express has contributed over $356,000 to ALSF, significantly impacting childhood cancer research and providing essential support to affected families. It is sobering to note that every day, more than 1,000 children worldwide receive a cancer diagnosis, yet research funding for pediatric cancer remains substantially lower than for adult cancers, making ACE’s contributions all the more crucial.

ACE’s Regional Vice President, Bee Rowles, stated, "ACE Cash Express is honored to support Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation in their mission to fund pediatric cancer research and to find safer and more effective treatments for children."

The 2024 Give A Little Campaign, spearheaded by ACE, managed to raise over $193,000 for various charities across the nation, including but not limited to ALSF, AdoptAClassroom.org, Autism Speaks, and Feed My Starving Children. The initiative is part of the ACE Community Fund, ACE’s charitable-giving program which has cumulatively contributed over $18 million to various organizations since 2004, extending assistance to communities where ACE operates. This impressive feat not only exemplifies community engagement but emphasizes the relentless pursuit to improve the lives of those in need.

The commitment to supporting ALSF is part of ACE Cash Express's larger mission to empower communities through financial services and social responsibility. Under its parent company, Populus Financial Group, ACE Cash Express continues to deliver a variety of financial products and services, which include consumer loans, money transfers, and bill payments, all while prioritizing charitable outreach.

In conclusion, ACE Cash Express, through its ongoing partnership with the Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, not only exemplifies corporate responsibility but also inspires others to get involved in the fight against childhood cancer.
