Delaware Valley Volvo Retailers Honor Local Hero Alexandra Scott With Month-Long Fundraiser

Scott Named One of Nation's Top Heroes in Volvo for Life Awards

PHILADELPHIA, June 7 -- WHAT:     Eleven Delaware Valley-area Volvo retailers will hold a
             fundraiser in honor of Alexandra Scott -- an 8-year-old
             Wynnewood, Pa. girl with cancer -- with 100 percent of the
             proceeds benefiting Alex's Lemonade Stand Fund for pediatric
             cancer research at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

             Since infancy, Scott has battled neuroblastoma, an aggressive
             childhood cancer. Four years ago, Scott began holding lemonade
             stands to raise money for the pediatric cancer center that
             treats her and other leading pediatric institutions nationwide.
             Since then, Scott has received national recognition for her
             inspiring efforts, and "Alex's Lemonade Stand" has raised more
             than $200,000. This year, Scott will hold her lemonade stand on
             Sat., June 12.

   WHEN:     Philadelphia-area Volvo retailers will sell raffle tickets now
             through July 7 for a free two-year lease on a new Volvo S40
             2.4i with all proceeds benefiting pediatric cancer research.
             Raffle tickets are priced at one for $10, three for $25, and
             six for $50 plus a free copy of Scott's book, "Alex's Amazing
             Lemonade Stand." Scott will draw the winning ticket for the new
             Volvo lease on July 8.

             In addition, during the week of June 7, Philadelphia-area Volvo
             retailers will open Alex's Lemonade Stands at their dealerships
             to help raise additional funds for Scott's cause.

             hometown heroes in the Volvo for life Awards
             ( www.volvoforlifeawards.com ), the nation's largest search for
             and celebration of hometown heroes, calling on people
             nationwide to nominate their hometown heroes.  Celebrity judges
             selected Scott as a top hero from more than 2,000 nominations
             submitted and Volvo donated $20,000 to Alex's Lemonade Stand.
