From December, 2008 through May, 2009, I was an intern for the Drew
Michael Taylor Foundation of Shippensburg, PA. During those five
months, I was primarily responsible for helping with various stages of
event planning, creating new promotional materials, updating existing
fliers and brochures, and manning the information tables at various
programs and events as a representative for the foundation.
The
Drew Michael Taylor Foundation is a private, non-profit organization
created in 2006 by Randy and Marcie Taylor after the loss of their son,
Drew. They are busy year round with projects honoring Drew’s memory and
helping children in need. They achieve this vision with monetary
donations, help from friends, family, and support of volunteers. The
foundation has created various programs including grief and loss
support groups, scholarships, awards, recreational and educational
opportunities for families of the community. It’s really quite amazing.
