Background - The Owen Hart Scholarship Fund

On May 23, 1999 Owen Hart died tragically after falling eight stories from the top of Kemper Arena in Kansas City, MO. Owen was a practical man of profound integrity, a wonderful husband and devoted father. Martha Hart founded the Owen Hart Foundation in December 2000 to honour his name and his spirit. The Foundation is a permanent legacy that is in place to help people today and for generations to come.
