There are three primary ways we are working to build upon Alexandria's legacy.
The Alexandria Dixon Management Award at Ferrum College
As a graduating senior, Alexandria was named the 2019 recipient of the Management Award at Ferrum College. In her honor, Ferrum College has named this award after Alexandria and will seek to celebrate students who exemplify the qualities Alexandria displayed at Ferrum College and beyond.
Supporting The Mast Cell Disease Society (TMS)
$4,987.82
contributed in Alexandria's honor (as of April 11, 2025)
TMS is dedicated to transforming the lives of patients and families while finding a cure for mast cell diseases.
The Alexandria Dixon MBA Scholarship for Women at SAP in partnership with the Quantic School of Business & Technology
While the name is still to be determined, SAP employees are striving to finish Alexandria's work in establishing an MBA scholarship for women in STEM.
There are of course many other ways to extend the reach of Alexandria's impact. The following suggestions are from the Dixon family and their memories of Alex.
Show your appreciation.
In her five years at SAP, Alexandria sent more than 800 personalized thank you notes to her colleagues. She took every opportunity to share her appreciation for those who made a difference in her life. In Alexandria's honor, take a few minutes to share your gratitude with someone who has made a difference in your life.
Celebrate everything.
Alexandria was our holiday girl. She celebrated any and every holiday, and made the most of it! Balloons, treats, decorations, and custom signs were just the start of her party planning. In Alexandria's honor, bring people together to celebrate a birthday, an anniversary, Flag Day, whatever!
Share some goldfish.
As a little girl, Alexandria would bring goldfish to soccer practices and playgrounds as a way to make friends. She used to tell us: "Goldfish make friends." In Alexandria's honor, share goldfish with someone today and make a new friend.
