Robert and Julie Began, along with their daughter, Hannah, have established the Heather Began Memorial Education Fund in memory of their daughter, Heather. The Heather Began Memorial Education Fund was established to provide enhanced learning within the classrooms of Altamont Elementary https://www.altamontschools.org/ and Estrella Vista Stem Academy School https://eves.littletonaz.org/.

Heather passed away on October 5, 2019, in Phoenix, Arizona, as the result of injuries sustained in a motor vehicle accident. She was 25 years old. Heather, a graduate of Altamont High School, was a first-grade teacher at Estrella Vista Elementary in Avondale, Arizona.

Heather was able to fulfill her dream of teaching young students before her life was cut short. Now her parents want to carry on Heather's legacy by helping elementary teachers enhance their classrooms through grants from the Heather Began Memorial Fund.
