Proceeds to benefit The Alex Foundation for Brain Injury.

The Alex Foundation for Brain Injury was founded by the parents of Alex Tempel, who suffered a brain injury at the age of three. Understanding the great need for a brain injury school in the western United States, The Alex Foundation for Brain Injury founded The Alex Center in Orange County so children like Alex would not be separated from their loved ones to receive the education they need to develop full and independent lives.
