All Proceeds Benefit Alex's Lemonade Stand
Foundation
INDIANA, Pa., May 23, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- S&T Bank, the wholly owned subsidiary of
S&T Bancorp Inc. (NASDAQ: STBA), today announced that it will
hold its second annual Lemonade Days fundraising campaign from
Saturday, June 1, through
Saturday, June 8, to benefit Alex's
Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF), the largest independent childhood
cancer charity in the U.S. During the campaign, anyone who visits a
S&T Bank branch can donate to ALSF and get a complementary
lemonade and treats.
"We are proud to expand our partnership with Alex's Lemonade
Stand this year," said CEO Chris
McComish. "Our people-forward purpose means that we
prioritize giving back to our communities by supporting charities
like Alex's Lemonade Stand. In 2023, we proudly raised more than
$30,000 in Central and Southeastern Pennsylvania. This year, we are
expanding our lemonade stands throughout all of our markets to
support the great work that ALSF is doing."
ALSF was founded by Alex Scott
(January 18, 1996-August 1, 2004), who passed away from cancer when
she was only eight years old. During the final four years of her
life, Alex and her family held annual lemonade stand fundraisers in
their front yard to benefit children's cancer research. Today, ALSF
continues Alex's legacy to raise money through lemonade stands to
fund critical research and support families impacted by childhood
cancer.
"We are thrilled to have the support of S&T Bank in our
battle against childhood cancer," said Liz
Scott, Alex's mother and co-executive director of ALSF. "We
are thankful for the commitment and contributions from S&T Bank
and its customers, which all help make my daughter's wish of
finding a cure closer to coming true."

About Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF)
ALSF
emerged from the front yard lemonade stand of four-year-old

raise money to find cures for all children with cancer. Her spirit
and determination inspired others to support her cause, and when
she passed away at the age of eight, she had raised $1 million. Since then, the Foundation bearing
her name has evolved into a worldwide fundraising movement and the
largest independent childhood cancer charity in the U.S. ALSF is a
leader in funding pediatric cancer research projects across the
