At Bear Necessities, our ultimate vision is a world without pediatric cancer. In addition to our wrap-around services that directly support families, we proudly partner with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, a nationally recognized nonprofit organization, to support cutting-edge pediatric cancer research. The Foundation is the only childhood cancer research organization that has been given the National Cancer Institute peer-reviewed funder designation for rigorous selection of research grants. Alex’s Lemonade Stand is also named one of Charity Navigator’s “10 Best Medical Research Organizations” in the U.S.
Since our partnership began in 2022, Bear Necessities has contributed $200,000 to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation to elevate our mission while combining critical resources to make an even greater impact in the search to find a cure for pediatric cancer.
