The Alexander Handy Memorial & Scholarship Foundation
"Project Alex" is a not-for-profit organization established in 2006 after the death of Alex Handy, who was hit by a car and killed while he was on his bicycle.
This foundation was established to assist the community through youth safety and scholastics.
The long-term goal of the foundation is to play an active role in youth safety and education through donations, sponsorship, fundraisers, and events. 100% of the money that we raise goes back to the community.
Project Alex reminds the young people in our community to be careful, be cautious, be safe and most of all be a free spirit and enjoy life as Alex did!
Be a part of Project Alex!
Have a great time while raising money for a great cause -- keeping kids safe! Two annual, major fundraisers help support our community charitable giving:
