About the Foundation
Carrying Amarie's light forward
Amarie's story
Amarie Alowonle was a bright, caring young woman whose smile and warmth touched everyone around her. She had a gift for making people feel seen, and a deep belief that every young person deserved a chance to succeed.
After Amarie's passing, family and friends chose to turn their grief into purpose. The Amarie Foundation exists so that Amarie's kindness keeps reaching teens who need it most.
