ABOUT SCOTT BEIGEL
Scott Beigel was a teacher. A cross-country coach. A counselor. A son. A brother. An uncle. A grandchild. A nephew. A cousin. A friend.
He died a hero for his actions at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, where he taught geography and coached cross-country.
For 28 summers camp was Scott’s home away from home. He first went to camp at the age of seven. His mother Linda gave him pre-addressed and stamped “fill-in-the-bubble” stationary to send home so he would not have to write letters at rest time. Scott returned year after year, becoming a beloved counselor and staff member. The summer of 2018 would have been Scott’s 29th consecutive summer at camp. In 2017, Scott joined the staff of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland FL. where he accepted the positions of ninth-grade geography teacher and cross-country coach. Teaching, mentoring, guiding and helping children of all ages flourish became Scott’s mission in life.
“He was a hero before he saved these lives. Just as many people who will be talking about Scott would be calling him a hero even if this didn’t occur. Obviously, a tragedy,” Beigel’s sister Melissa Zech said Saturday.
“Scott Beigel wasn’t a hero because he opened the door to his classroom at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School that day. He was a hero because he opened doors every day.”
Truly kind and thoughtful words by President Barack Obama. Thank you for your support!
Dear Michael and Linda-
Your son seemed like an extraordinary young man, and Michelle and I grieve alongside you.
We can only imagine the hardship you are going through; hopefully all the wonderful memories can help ease the pain.
We’ll get the details about your fund in his honor. In the meantime, you are in our thoughts and prayers.
-Barack Obama

Help us celebrate what would have been Scott's 37th Birthday.
One week from today, Sunday, October 20, 2019, we will be sponsoring the 1st Run 4 Beigel - Long Island, a celebration of what would have been Scott's 37th birthday.
The Scott J. Beigel Memorial Fund was able to send 54 underprivileged children touched by gun violence to sleep-away camp this past summer. One of these camps is Camp Fiver, located in Hamilton, NY (featured below). Each of these children was able to experience life free of gangs and guns. Each child was given the opportunity to be carefree while making friends and learning new skills. Our goal is to send the same 54 children back to camp next summer, in addition to granting another 54 children camperships . Please help us make this happen..
Being a 501(c)3 not for profit, we are proud that over 90% of the monies raised by the Scott J Beigel Memorial Fund is used to send underprivileged children touched by gun violence to sleep-away camp. It costs approximately $2,500.00 for each campership. PLEASE HELP US REACH OUR GOAL FOR 2020.
On October 20, join us at Heckscher State Park. Come to walk or just hang out!!! Bring the family and have fun!!! Run 4 Beigel – L.I. is going to be a birthday celebration. RUNNING IS OPTIONAL.
