The proceeds of Alanfest will be given entirely to The David Alan Lewis Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization headed by Kevin and several others who were profoundly affected by Alan's death, seeks to endow a scholarship, which will forever exist in his name. Alan, a graduate of the University of Georgia's landscape architecture program, had a remarkable aptitude for merging the natural environment with that of an urban location.

Instead it will be given to candidates who share the earnest drive and perseverance that defined Alan.
