A LOOK BACK
Reflecting on the moments, people and gatherings that have helped keep Alexandre’s legacy alive.
2018 — THE BEGINNING OF A TRADITION
The Foundation’s first benefit dinner brought more than 200 guests together for a sold-out evening in honor of Alexandre. More than $10,000 was raised to support education and lay the foundation for the scholarship program that would follow.
It was the beginning of a tradition that brings our community together in Alexandre’s name, turning generosity into opportunities for young scientists.
2019 — A COMMUNITY GROWS
The second benefit dinner was once again sold out and raised more than $10,000 in support of the Foundation’s doctoral scholarship program.
The growing participation of the community showed that Alexandre’s legacy continued to bring people together around a shared purpose.
2024 — A NEW CHAPTER
The 2024 Recognition Gala marked a new chapter in the Foundation’s tradition of bringing the community together in honor of Alexandre.
The 2024 Gala raised $18,000 thanks to guests, artists, volunteers, board members and partners, in a spirit of gratitude and celebration.
Following the Gala, a generous $5,000 donation from Brandon LeBlanc, President of EXPERT Security, made it possible to establish a second doctoral scholarship for 2025.

A LEGACY THAT LIVES ON
Alexandre’s curiosity, courage and passion for science continue to guide everything we do.
The Alexandre-Parks Foundation was created in honor of Alexandre, a young scientist whose passion for learning, discovery and research continues to inspire our work.
His legacy lives on through the students who receive our scholarships and the research their work contributes to. By supporting the next generation of scientists, we help make a difference.
Every scholarship awarded. Every young scientist encouraged. Every breakthrough. It all began with Alexandre.
CARRYING ALEXANDRE’S LEGACY FORWARD
Today, the Alexandre-Parks Foundation carries Alexandre’s spirit forward by investing in people, research, and ideas that can make a meaningful difference.
Through scholarships, community partnerships and recognition, the Foundation is builds on Alexandre’s legacy—not simply by looking back, but by carrying forward what he inspired to help shape what comes next.
IN HONOR OF ALEXANDRE
His life inspired our mission.
His legacy continues with every young scientist we encourage and every advance in research.
