On June 7th I will be performing at the Family Fun Day at Hampshire hills in Milford, NH to benefit the Jaiden Lyndi Tlapa Foundation. Jaiden was a dear little girl who lost her life in a tragic accident, and her family is channeling their love for her and their grief into this Foundation to assist families that have critically injured and terminally ill children. The foundation is also creating a website to bring together resources with needs, and hopes to focus on helping families to create special memories of their loved ones (hand-prints, DVD's with special photos and music, etc).
Another objective is to create a Jaiden Lyndi Tlapa Scholarship which will be awarded to a graduating senior who exemplifies certain character traits (compassion, kindness, outreach) and has made a positive impact in this world. Among other items, the application will look for volunteer hours, references, and most importantly an essay on how this person is planning to make a difference in this world.
The foundation will also support the NE Aquarium program at the Wadleigh Memorial Library, which was originally donated by Jaiden's Grandparents in her name.
I hope you will plan to spend part of your day at this fun event which will assist a very worthy cause. I'll be kicking things off at 11am...hope to see you there!
