FROM RAGEJAX FOUNDATION

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Ojai, California – September 1, 2005
Project Coordinators: Cally Houck - Al Westcott
Through the eyes of the smallest of us we see the impact of the destruction and devastation that has taken over the Gulf Coast cities of New Orleans, Louisiana; Biloxi, Mississippi and Delta cities and towns whose names we have never heard before.
Through the eyes of the children we see hurricane Katrina’s impact on every city, every home and every person along the Mississippi River and Gulf of Mexico.
Federal, state and local emergency and relief organizations are coping with the tens of thousands of American refugees who have lost everything. Everything except their lives and their determination to survive and rebuild.
We all want to help and we can. Wal-Mart, K-Mart, Home Depot and other major retailers are helping with money, food, water and other essential supplies.
The RageJax Foundation has made a cash donation to the Salvation Army Disaster Relief for immediate assistance and a donation to Habitat For Humanity to help in the long term costs of rebuilding homes. In addition, the RageJax Foundation has made a donation of coloring books, crayons, puzzles and activity toys to be sent directly to the Astrodome in Houston and the other relief centers throughout Texas and wherever else they are needed.
We encourage everyone to get involved in rebuilding, but before we can rebuild homes we must rebuild hearts. As millions of Americans come together with money for immediate assistance, the RageJax Foundation will help the smallest victims, the children. As America comes together, the RageJax Foundation will continue to provide books, toys, and other “diversion” items for the children. This letter simply asks you to help “Katrina’s Kids”, please send your tax-deductible contribution to RageJax Foundation and write “Katrina’s Kids” in the memo line of your check. Worldwide Express, partnered with DHL Express, will deliver the items from Ojai, California directly to Texas without charge this means that all donations will go directly to
purchasing things for the children of this disaster. Our first delivery to the children is scheduled to leave Ojai on Tuesday, September 6th so time is of the essence.
Please mail your check to RageJax Foundation, Box 582, Ojai, California 93024.
The children will not know that it was you that helped them, but you will.
Please help. Even just a dollar. Please.

Be prepared for the next national hurricane or find another one that's similar. As the Boy Scouts say: "Be Prepared"!
