Local summer campers raise over $26,000 for childhood cancer research

(WPHL) — Local summer campers at Chesterbrook Academy Preschools have raised more than $26,000 for childhood cancer research.

The preschoolers throughout the various camps in Pennsylvania sold lemonade and treats to raise money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a national childhood cancer foundation dedicated to funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer.

“This year’s fundraising efforts were especially meaningful as Chesterbrook Academy celebrates its 40th anniversary. For four decades, the school has been dedicated to educating and nurturing young minds, while also instilling the importance of kindness, empathy, and community involvement,” a statement from Chesterbrook Academy said.
