Even in his personal life, Kamesh Kuchimanchi is dedicated to aiding in the fight to find a cure. Some of his favorite nonprofit efforts include Alex’s Lemonade Stand and The Dragonfly Foundation.

Alex’s Lemonade Stand started small -- as many world movements tend to! Alex Scott was a young girl battling pediatric cancer. Her cause quickly became larger than herself. Although Alex herself was enduring her own fight with cancer, she truly aimed to help all kids with pediatric cancer. In 2004, Alex sadly passed away. But her legacy lives on with the Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.
