We can't at this time officially join with any other organizations, we are willing to work with others though.

Our plans for the 100 simultaneous 2004 Alex's Lemonade Stand are progressing, we have a core of dedicated volunteers that are determined to make it happen.

If anyone knows of promising research that is in need of funding, please let us know. We are putting together a list for next year.
