Mission

The mission Scott J Beigel Memorial Fund, which is a 501(c)(3) not for profit, is to send at-risk children who have been touched by gun violence to summer sleep-away camp. The purpose is to show these at-risk children that there are positive alternatives to guns and gangs. This combines both Scott's love of camp with his love for children. Scott J.

He was killed at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School by an active shooter who took the lives of 17 innocent people, including Scott. He died a hero at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland saving and protecting the lives of his students.
