EMS Orphans Education Fund

March 21, 2001

Since 1990, more than one hundred and sixty EMS professionals have

lost their lives while responding to a strangers call for help. They

leave behind husbands and wives, mothers and fathers, brothers and

sisters. But most importantly, they leave behind their children. A

daughter who will not be able to dance with her daddy at her wedding,

a son who will never again see mommy's smile for the flowers he

picked for her.

The EMS ORPHANS EDUCATION FUND is a non-profit corporation organized

in December 2000 and registered with the North Carolina's Attorney

General Office. We have filed for and are currently awaiting IRS

approval as a 501 © (3) charitable organization. The primary goal

of the organization is to assure that every child of an EMS

professional who has lost their life in the line of duty is never

denied access to post secondary education due to financial

constraints brought about by the loss of their parent. This is

accomplished by providing educational stipends to these children.

In order to achieve our goals, and secure partial funding for our

programs, we have partnered with BI-LO through their BI-LO BOOSTERS

Program. Each time you shop at BI-LO and use your BONUSCARD, the

amount spent will be credited to our account. BI-LO will donate a

percentage of the total purchases accumulated and rebates on specific

product purchases to our organization. Signing up is easy by calling

toll free 1-877-4-BOOSTERS or through the internet at http://www.bi-

lo.com/. Please forward this to as many people as possible without

spamming. When you enroll, you will be asked your BONUSCARD number,

the first three digits of your last name, and our organization

number, which is 7060. That's all!

We plan to have our web page up and running by May 2001, in the

meantime you can join our list at

comments, fundraising ideas, LODD notices or other losses, items

pertaining to safety, or anything else pertaining to EMS

Stay Safe and Thank You
