Our Mission
The Spirit of Alexandria Foundation was created to carry on the legacy of Alexandria Bennett, a little girl whose passion for nature and generosity was evident to everyone around her.
Through this foundation, it is her family and friends mission to help children experience nature and all its wonderment. The Spirit of Alexandria Foundation will work in cooperation with partners in the places that she loved, both close to home and across the country.
Foundation Programs
One of the foundation’s primary focus’ are the Mobile Classrooms, Alexandria’s Nature Buses - Sort of a real life “magic school bus” outfitted with informational pieces and experts that bring interactive lessons to the greater Detroit area. The Mobile Classroom is used as a tool to bring kids to nature in hopes of teaching them about the world around them and how to protect it now and for the future.
The Spirit of Alexandria and Howell Nature Center (HNC) of Howell, Michigan teamed up in 2009 to provide a sanctuary for children and adults alike to explore and learn. This relationship continues to thrive today. Alexandria’s Nature Scape came to be at the Nature Center, an educational “playground” where kids can float, climb, feel, hear and dig their way through their curiosity.
Alexandria’s Treehouse (inside the Nature Scape), was completed in fall of 2015. It is a truly remarkable 20-foot high structure where children and adults can come together to learn about nature while high above the ground, including various activities and programs.
Throughout the past 12 years, the Spirit of Alexandria Foundation has made over 323,000 connections to nature. What started out as a way to cope with a great loss, has turned into something incredible and awe-inspiring. Alexandria continues to be a source of inspiration for Craig and Leah as well as the people that work closely with them.
