Amy Bennett Foundation

The Amy Bennett Foundation, is a commemorative and fundraising platform for Amy's passions for the arts.

We actively provide financial assistance for youth artists in musical theater at accredited institutions at the high school and collegiate levels. The Amy Bennett Foundation continues Amy’s dreams beyond her passing. Amy was killed in tragic circumstances, in a collision with a truck as she biked to work. In the foundation's first year, we were instrumental in providing biker protection advocacy,

and we spearheaded the passage of a 3 foot law in Wyoming. Since 2016, the primary purpose of the Fund has been to create and disburse scholarship funds that are used to enrich the lives of youth and college performers; at Starlight , where Amy got her start, at UNC's Musical Theater Program, and at the Arizona and National Thespian levels. To donate and support this important cause, please visit amybennettfoundation.com
