2021 In Review: Thank You For Helping Us Give Back
As the end of the year approaches, it gives us all an opportunity to step back and reflect on what the last year meant. While there were many big moments for us here at Little Sleepies, one of the accomplishments we’re most proud of is the impact we’ve been able to make on the lives of others.
Why We Give Back
Giving back is part of our mission and something we genuinely stand behind as a company. That’s why with every single purchase, we donate to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), a partner we cherish because of the meaningful work they do to fund childhood cancer research.
About Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation
ALSF’s mission is to change the lives of children with cancer through funding impactful research, raising awareness, supporting families, and empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer. In our interview with co-Executive Director Liz Scott, you can learn more about Alex’s story and how she founded the non-profit with a lemonade stand in her front yard back in 2000. Since then, ALSF has funded more than 1,000 cutting-edge research projects at nearly 150 institutions.
Our Impact
The difference we’ve made in the lives of children with cancer and their families isn’t something we could do alone. You, our community and customers, have made it possible.Thanks to you, in 2021 alone, we’ve funded:
- 1,200 hours of childhood cancer research, allowing ALSF to fund impactful research at institutions across the country, taking steps to find safer treatments and cures.
- Helped 81 childhood cancer families throughout North America with resources such as providing travel to innovative treatments and clinical trials far from their home hospitals
How You Can Help
ALSF is an incredible organization, and there are so many ways that individuals and families can help. If you’d like to look into ways to donate, you can learn more about ways to give on their website. But financial contributions aren’t the only way to support. From hosting a lemonade stand to participating in the Million Mile and volunteering at a special event, making an impact with ALSF is fun and something the whole family can participate in together. This time of year can be difficult for families experiencing a cancer diagnosis. Sometimes the best way to support is to check in and show up in their lives.We’re so grateful to have such a strong community that has allowed us to make an impact with an incredible organization, and we can’t wait to see what’s possible for us in 2022.
Jane was an amazing, courageous young lady of 16, who after three years of hell, just wanted to get her driving license this summer.
Her will to live was beyond incredible- but her little body was no match for the cancer that was determined to end her life. No stone of hope was left unturned.
Jane left us a few weeks ago and flys with the angels now, leaving a trail of tears of love and grief behind her.
She is free – she will be forever missed.
She loved Shakespeare, Art, acting and her family, three younger sisters must find their way without their big sister.
Thank you for supporting research to continue the fight against this insidious disease that steals our children every single day.
I will always support companies that give back. Every. Single. Time.
Thank you so much! My son is an AML survivor and stem cell transplant recipient. This is just another reason we love LS!! Thank you for giving back to such an amazing organization! Childhood cancer is over looked a lot of the times. #morethan4
Thank you for choosing to donate to ALSF. We lost our son to childhood cancer after a 7 year battle and without research funding from ALSF and other childhood cancer foundations he probably wouldn’t have survived that long. We love our Little Sleepies and you have a forever customer in us.
We love these pajamas.
