The Ben Woolf Fund
We – Ben’s immediate family – would be honored if you would like to make a donation on Ben’s behalf to a charity that furthers the causes that meant so much to Ben. He loved animals, children, and laughter, but most of all he believed in himself and that you could accomplish whatever you want despite the challenges. We have selected four charities that reflect Ben’s values.
Please donate either through The Ben Woolf Fund, or directly to one of the charities. If you donate through The Ben Woolf Fund, donations will be spent first on at least two memorial “BENches” for the LA County Parks and Santa Barbara County Parks. Ben loved walking all over town as many of you know, and sometimes we all need to rest. These BENches will provide lovely places to sit and marvel at the beauty of our world on Ben’s behalf. The remaining donations will be spent on the four charities. If you would like to specify the charity where your donation goes, please let us know.
If you prefer to donate directly to one of the charities, we have provided a link. If you donate directly we request that the donation be in Ben’s honor.
