For 20 years, the Spirit of Alexandria Foundation has been a way for us to carry forward the bright spark of an eight-year-old little girl who saw the world with wonder and curiosity. Inspired by Alexandria’s love of nature, we set out to help children discover that same sense of magic—whether through camp experiences, live animal programs in schools, or trips to the Grand Tetons.
Because of the generosity of so many caring individuals and companies—some who supported the mission year after year—more than $1 million was donated over the past two decades. And because of that incredible support, over 400,000 children were able to connect with nature in meaningful, unforgettable ways. Every smile, every moment of learning, every spark of curiosity was a reflection of Alexandria’s spirit living on.
After 20 fulfilling Years, the Foundation is coming to a close. It simply feels like the right time. What will never end is the gratitude we feel for everyone who believed in this mission and helped bring it to life. You helped turn a little girl’s legacy into something extraordinary.
As we move through the 20th anniversary of Alexandria’s passing on the 18th, Craig Bennett and I will take comfort in knowing that, in her name, we were able to share the beauty of nature with so many children. Thank you—from the bottom of our hearts—for helping us keep her light shining.
