A Tragic Anniversary

Tuesday June 24, 2008
Wednesday marks the one-year anniversary of the day that the bodies of the Benoit family were discovered. In the wake of this horrific story, three foundations have been set up by remaining family members to help prevent a tragedy like this from happening again.

The three foundations are:
1 - Nancy & Daniel Benoit Foundation
2 - The Nancy and Daniel Benoit Foundation for Battered Women and Abused Children; c/o Decker, Hallman, Barber and Briggs; 260 Peachtree St. Suite 1700; Atlanta, GA 30303
3 - The Benoit Family Fund for Brain Injury Research

On Friday night, the Nancy & Daniel Benoit Foundation will be holding the 1st Annual Rat Pack Charity Vegas Night in Daytona Beach, FL. More information about this event can be found on their website.

In light of the events that happened to the Nancy and Daniel, I highly suggest that anyone reading this that is currently in an abusive relationship to check out this site. It contains resources about the problem and hotline phone numbers for every state. No one deserves to be in an abusive relationship and anyone that tells you otherwise is nuts. A real man would never hit a woman or child.
