It’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Month 🍋

For @FCSNationRadio1, this fight has become so much more than football.

Through our partnership with @NM_Financial and @AlexsLemonade, we’ve seen the FCS community rally around kids and families facing childhood cancer.

LET’S FIGHT‼️

We've had an extra challenge added today to get to 175 total donors, thanks to Chris and Molly Schenkel 🫶

Less than 100 to go to unlock that extra gift!

Jackrabbit Nation! Excited to kick off Childhood Cancer Awareness Month as the Northwestern Mutual Honorary Captain. 

I'm partnering with @northwesternmutual and @alexslemonade to raise funds and awareness. Competing against other FCS programs – but the real goal is impact!

Titled: The Challenge that Changed the FCS 🍋

[Chris Schenkel @schenkelchris]

This has been such a fun way to make an impact! Thank you to our FCS Honorary Captains, teams, coaches, and fan bases for putting so much care into our fight against childhood cancer.

[FCS Nation Radio @FCSNationRadio1]

🍋 It started with one little girl and one lemonade stand.

More than two decades later, Alex Scott’s idea has become a movement that has raised close to $400 MILLION for childhood cancer research and family support. @AlexsLemonade

And for the fourth straight season, her fight is coming back to the FCS.

Before we kick off Season 4 of the @NM_Financial x Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation x FCS Nation fight against childhood cancer, Stone Labanowitz sits down with Alex’s mom and ALSF co-Executive Director Liz Scott. 🎙️

This one goes well beyond football.

▪️What happens after you hit “donate”, and how your money helps fuel childhood cancer research and support families
▪️Why the platform of a college football player can become its own version of Alex’s lemonade stand
▪️Liz’s message to the new group of FCS athletes joining the fight this season

In just three seasons, 20+ athletes and their fan bases have helped us raise more than $250,000.

Some have become Lemon Trophy champions. Some have become NFL players. Every one of them helped carry Alex’s idea a little further.

Alex had a lemonade stand. Our guys have football.

Season 4 starts now. No signs of slowing down. 🍋

@FCSNationRadio1 @cfbcampustour I believe you left off SLU.

[FCS Nation Radio @FCSNationRadio1]

Chris Schenkel and his team with Northwestern Mutual along with the Alex's Lemonade Stand Team and YOU deserve all of the credit!! Wait until you see what we can all do together this season!!! 🍋🍋🍋🍋
@NM_Financial @schenkelchris @AlexsLemonade

[Chris Schenkel @schenkelchris]

Thank you to all of our Honorary Captains and each team's fan base! We're going to defeat childhood cancer one cup at a time!

[Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation @AlexsLemonade]

We want to thank our partners @NM_Financial, @FCSNationRadio1, and the 18 FCS football players for teaming up to fight childhood cancer during the 2025 football season.

In addition to asking for donations, players, coaches and the network offices asked fans to participate in Northwestern Mutual's #LemonTopChallenge on social media! Thanks to amazing teamwork, more than $135,000 was raised to help fund childhood cancer research!

Special shoutout to the top 3 players: Aidan Bouman, ALSF Honorary Captain and top fundraiser of the year, Chase Mason and Taco Dowler 💛

[Chris Schenkel @schenkelchris]

@TheSongDog11 Nobody can deny this. Fantastic food, in a hardware store! Gotta love it.

[Chris Schenkel @schenkelchris]

@grantlueders @boumanaidan8 knows his food spots in Vermilion. This place is fantastic!

HOW IT STARTED:

HOW IT FINISHED: ⬇️

[Zach Borg @IceBorg]

When I said Aidan is a special guy who will succeed in whatever he does FB only scratched the surface

Final standings below w/SDSU’s Chase Mason 2nd over 34K & Montana St’s Taco Dowler 3rd over 20K

So not only does this region dominate FCS but it also aims to kick Cancer’s ass

[Jay Elsen @jayelsen]

Bouman is now a two-time Lemon Trophy Winner. I spoke with him earlier today about what this cause has meant to him.

"That is, by far, the coolest thing I've been able to be a part of during college."
@MidcoSports

[Back the Pack - Coyote Nation @BackthePackSD]

We will see you next year! We are feeling $50,000 next time.

[Chris Schenkel @schenkelchris]

Congratulations @BackthePackSD and Coyote Nation! Thank you for your desire to create impact. The competitiveness of this year is exactly what was envisioned from the start. @boumanaidan8 and Coyote Nation are the @NM_Financial @AlexsLemonade Honorary Captain of the year!

[Back the Pack - Coyote Nation @BackthePackSD]

So incredibly proud of Coyote Nation for answering the bell on this! Lemonhead photos, JellYote at tailgate, auctioning gear and trips - this one had it all! Congrats Aidan and as always, GO YOTES!!! @boumanaidan8 @SDCoyotesFB
