To everyone and anyone who reads this -

The Ben Doran Foundation has for sale, through the generous donation of Paul Tennant of Bumblebee Landscaping, a two-inch sapling shade tree that Paul will plant; the tree is guaranteed for a year. All proceeds will go to the Ben Doran Foundation. This past week Benny's foundation has responded to four homicides. It is continuing proof that the foundation is needed and is still here after 7 years . Please support Ben's Foundation by purchasing these items or making a contribution through the website contribution page. It is a sad testament to our times that Ben's foundation is needed more and not less.

Contact Maggie at margueritte@bendoranfoundation.org or call 715-808-0132 - Thanks for your support!
