Morgan Properties will host lemonade stands at 133 of its apartment communities and contribute a corporate donation to further support the foundation's efforts to fight childhood cancer. "As a family business and apartment owner/operator, giving back to the communities in which we serve is at the core of who we are and what we do at Morgan Properties," said Jason Morgan (News - Alert), Senior Vice President of Acquisitions and Investment Management at Morgan Properties. "Our communities are homes to people from all walks of life, and finding ways to combat childhood illness is a cause near and dear to my heart. It's an honor to stand alongside Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation and Lemonade Days' participants across the country in the fight against childhood cancer and to help raise money for much-needed research. We hope our residents and members of the 133 communities where we'll be hosting lemonade stands will join us on June 8 for a day of fun and fundraising in support of this important cause."

About Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004). In 2000, 4-year-old Alex announced that she wanted to hold a lemonade stand to raise money to help find a cure for all children with cancer. Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of supporters across the country carrying on her legacy of hope. To date, Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a registered 501(c)3 charity, has raised more than $150 million toward fulfilling Alex's dream of finding a cure, funding over 800 pediatric cancer research projects nationally. In addition, ALSF provides support to families affected by childhood cancer through programs such as Travel For Care and SuperSibs.
