A Wedding for Alex


I'm sure most of you have heard of Alex's Lemonade Stand - a national foundation that evolved from Alexandra "Alex" Scott's (1996-2004) lemonade stand to a nationwide fundraising movement. Since 2000, Alex's Lemonade Stand has raised over $25 million towards finding a cure for childhood cancer.

Last year, "A Wedding for Alex" was put together - The Omni Hotel at Independence Park came together with a number of other Philadelphia area vendors to auction off a $50,000 dream wedding package on eBay. The package includes a rehearsal dinner, ceremony, reception, rings, a custom wedding dress, hair and make up services, photography and videography, a DJ, flowers, invitations, bridesmaid dresses and tuxedos, and a luxurious, all-inclusive honeymoon in Mexico.

Katie McIntyre and Sean Mooney bid $34,100 on this dream wedding and won it. Every penny of that $34,100 will go to Alex's Lemonade Stand and the fight against pediatric cancer.

Katie and Sean's big day is this coming Saturday and we are so thrilled to be a part of it!

To see a clip of the happy couple talking about their decision to bid on the wedding and all of the things included, go here.
