The mission
of the Van Duzer Foundation is to assist families and individuals in St. Lucie County Florida, who are experiencing financial and personal
hardship brought about by unforeseen crisis or tragedy.

The
Aaron Project
On his way home from school in March 2012, nine year-old
Aaron Beauchamp was killed in a school bus accident. Since the moment they got
the news, the Beauchamp family has been committed to celebrating Aaron’s memory
and helping to improve the lives of others even though Aaron’s own life was so
tragically cut short. In an effort to honor the memory of Aaron, who excelled
in academics, athletics, and the visual arts, the Beauchamp family created the
Aaron Project – a family fund designed to recognize well-rounded St. Lucie
County students with an annual scholarship, awards for academics, athleticism,
and leadership, and provide funding for an annual grant to a St. Lucie County
teacher who incorporates visual arts into his or her curriculum. Though Aaron
was only with us for nine short years, his family is determined that his memory
and legacy live on in the hearts and lives of others who live with the same
enthusiasm and energy as this beloved young boy.
On Wednesday,
June 12, the Aaron Project will kick off with
a fundraiser hosted by members of the Van Duzer Foundation, a local non-profit
organization known for its creativity and commitment to community. Beginning at
4 p.m. and concluding with the close of business at 10 p.m., 100 percent of all
the food and beverage sales, and even staff salaries and tips, will benefit the
Aaron Project. Also on hand for the evening’s festivities will be One Blood
(formerly Florida’s Blood Centers), accepting donations of blood in memory of
Aaron Beauchamp.
For
nearly five years, the Van Duzer Foundation has found
unique ways for everyone to positively impact the community and has raised and
donated over $700,000 to St. Lucie County residents in need. For additional
information on how you can become involved, call Scott Van Duzer at (772) 528-3467.
