Support Peter Facinelli's Campaign to Raise Funds for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation

Actor Peter Facinelli, star of THE TWILIGHT SAGA and “Nurse Jackie,” has launched a new effort to raise funds for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer through an online experience. With the help of Fantapper, Peter has invited fans to submit photos for a special vampire treatment which they can share digitally with their friends. Once the campaign reaches two million viewers, the Southern California Foundation will make a $50,000 donation to Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.

A longtime supporter of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ASLF), Facinelli hopes to bring new awareness to the organization while engaging with fans through Fantapper.

“Fans can support ALSF without spending a dime – and have some fun in the process,” said Facinelli. “Fantapper gives me away to connect with people directly and share the things I’m passionate about – like supporting kids and families struggling with childhood cancer. And who wouldn’t want to be turned into a vampire for a great cause?”

People can email their photos to peter@fantapper.com and watch for the results by downloading Peter’s free Fantapper app at www.ifiwereavampire.com.

“We have been so thrilled to have the continuing support of Peter Facinelli in the battle against childhood cancer,” said Liz Scott, Alex’s mom. “We are hopeful that Peter’s fans – and everyone interested in supporting kids facing childhood cancer – will participate and share #ifiwereaVampire with their friends and family. We think the Fantapper campaign is a win-win opportunity to support our efforts.”

The campaign is currently live and will run through Monday, June 27; full details are available at: www.fantapper.com.

My daughter and some friends are holding thier own lemonade stand to raise money for ALSF next month!!!! They were inspired by one of thier own friends who was diagnosed with leukemia earlier this year at 5 years old. SOOOOO awesome to see a celebrity I am already a HUGE fan of supporting such a wonderful cause!!!!!!

The SCOTTS are an amazing family. My family and I were priviledged to know little Alex personally as they lived on our street in suburban Philadelphia. To say she was courageous is an understatement. This little girl dealt with more pain and adversity in a single hour than many of us will know in a lifetime. Yet she was never without hope, a smile or a kind word.

God bless this little angel. Your legacy will go on to inspire millions.
