Multi-Flow Industries recently announced their new line of lemonade beverages, branded under the Harvest Squeeze Juice label. With a tag line of "It's about being Real!", the line-up includes a Classic Yellow Lemonade, served still or sparkling as Limonata, a Pink Lemonade, and a Half Tea/Half Lemonade variety. All varieties are blended with Real Sugar, Real Lemon Juice and offer Real Calorie Reduction: 25% less calories than a typical serving.

Since Alex held that first stand, the Foundation bearing her name has evolved into a national fundraising movement, complete with thousands of volunteers 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 $30 million towards fulfilling Alex's dream of finding a cure, funding over 125 research projects nationally.
