A portion of sales from Utz Lemonade Chips, up to $40,000, will be donated to ALSF to support its mission of funding research and helping families in need. “At Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation, we’ve seen how small acts can make a big difference,” said Liz Scott, Alex’s mom and co-executive director at Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. “Through our partnership with Utz, every bag of Lemonade Chips helps raise awareness and funds for childhood cancer research, giving families hope one chip at a time.” Both limited-time chips are now available at major retailers nationwide, including Walmart, Publix, Kroger and more, as well as online at utzsnacks.com.
