Working With The Brittany Project

I'm proud to announce that I'll be working with the Brittany Project on their website and more. If you aren't familiar with them, here is some more info:

"Hello:
By now I am sure you have heard about Murfreesboro TN PD losing one of officers on Oct 23rd. Officer Brittany Maxwell passed away on 10/23/10 unexpectedly at her home. She had started a project to collect artificial Christmas Trees (pre-lighted or not, new or gently used) to give to the families in Franklin heights and other neighborhoods that will not otherwise have a Christmas tree. Most of the kids that she had on her list have never had a Christmas Tree before. She passed away before her goal could be finished. We, her family and friends, have decided to finish this project in her memory this year and in the years going forward to continue and make it something bigger than Brittany ever dreamed it could be. Kimberly Maxwell, Brittany's mom, and I have the paperwork in process to establish a 501(c)3 in Brittany's honor. It's called "The Brittany Project" in memory of her. Kim is the official chairman and I am her Co-Chair. I guess what I am asking is... Would you be willing to help us with a tree donation or a monetary donation to assist us with future projects. We aren't doing this to seek fame and fortune. We are doing this to honor the memory of Officer Maxwell and to keep her dream of making this a better community. Any help you could offer would be more than appreciated. ... Thanks for taking the time to read this Jennifer Smith donations can be sent to MPD c/o Jennifer Smith 302 S Church St Murfreesboro TN 37130 or call me at 615-653-8664"


I'm looking forward to posting the results of this new endeavor as they become available.
