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 $140 million toward fulfilling
Alex’s dream of finding a cure, funding
over 690 pediatric cancer research
projects nationally. For more information

In 2014, the Sisters of the Holy
Family of Nazareth established a high
school on the Emsworth campus that
had formerly housed the Holy Family
Institute residential program. For the first
three years of its existence, the school was
known as Holy Family Academy. Starting
this spring, it goes by a new name:
Nazareth College and Career Prep.
Some facts about the school’s decision
and its ongoing mission:
1. The name change clarifies the
distinction between Nazareth
College and Career Prep and the
organization that preceded it at its
Emsworth campus, Holy Family
Institute, a social services provider
in southwestern Pennsylvania for
over 100 years.

2. Nazareth College and Career Prep is
a ministry of the Sisters of the Holy
Family of Nazareth, who have a long
history of providing high-quality
educational programming in eastern
Pennsylvania. The order’s Nazareth
Academy Grade School, Nazareth
Academy High School and Holy
Family University have served the
Philadelphia area since, respectively,
1941, 1928 and 1954.
3. The name Nazareth College and
Career Prep was chosen to reflect
the Sisters’ tradition of excellence
in education, as well as the school’s
bright, motivated students.
4. Nazareth College and Career Prep
serves promising students whose
families are interested in a rigorous,
experiential learning model that
includes a four-year integrated
internship and project-based
learning – and makes a private
education possible for families who
otherwise could not afford it.
5. Though its name has changed,
Nazareth College and Career Prep’s
leadership and mission remain the
same.
“We remain committed to our
close, family-like culture, to support
families and to create an environment
that strengthens our students’ moral
foundation,” says Head of School &
Chief Learning Officer Lisa Abel-
Palmieri, Ph.D. “Nazareth College and
Career Prep will continue to provide
rigorous, personalized college and career
preparation to a diverse student body,
using creative strategies to bridge the
education-to-employment skills gap.”
She adds, “With one of the region’s
largest internship programs, as well as
