Laurence Kagan became involved with Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation when his two kids attended Penn Wynne Elementary School where Alex Scott went to school.  The charity appealed to Larry and his family because of how it involved kids helping other kids.  Larry saw the lessons that his kids were learning about empathy, charity and selflessness and realized that the blueprint ALSF had created could be easily combined with the great people he had met though his son Remy’s hockey community.   The Frozen Lemonade Cup was born and the hockey community has responded with force.  From Washington through Philadelphia all the way up to Boston, youth hockey players are doing their part in the fight to eradicate childhood cancer.  The plan is to keep expanding and to involve as many young hockey players as possible in learning great lessons for life while helping to fight childhood cancer.

Larry is a principal in the investment firm Kagan Cocozza Asset Management based outside Philadelphia in West Conshohocken, PA.

Amanda Zavodnick brings her passion for community engagement, her desire to motivate a new generation to benefit a most worthy cause, and her 15 year career in social work to The Frozen Lemonade Cup charity ice hockey tournament.

As a mother of a hockey-loving son, Amanda got involved in The Frozen Lemonade Cup just before the event turned three, and her dedication to the shared mission of empowering everyone to help cure childhood cancer, has grown every year.  In 2018, she helped expand The Frozen Lemonade Cup Tournament, already in West Chester, Pennsylvania to the Boston and Washington D.C./Maryland area.

When she’s not working on rallying the hockey community to sign up skaters, or teaching yoga to hockey players, Amanda works as the Behavioral Therapist in a Family Medicine Residency Program in Philadelphia. In her free time, you can find her at the local animal shelter, taking homeless pups for a run or home with her, until they find their own families.

Amanda lives with her husband, son and daughter (and at least one resident pup) in Wynnewood, Pennsylvania.
