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!
Announcements
Your generosity at the 3rd annual Alex Handy 5k Walk/Run helped feed local families!
Thank you everyone who donated canned goods at the race. The Medway Housing Authority was able to give food to 33 families. Without your generosity, these donations wouldn't have been possible!
More about the race.
A thank you note
We received this sweet thank you note from a little girl who was given a bike helmet from Project Alex. It was too cute not to share!
