Life changed for many Alabamians on April 27 when 20+ tornadoes criss-crossed most portions of the state. As part of our effort to provide assistance, The Alabama State Association for HPERD (ASAHPERD) Board of Directors voted to adopt Hackleburg Elementary School. While we know there are many in need, we feel we can make the most impact by concentrating our efforts in one location that does not have as many resources at its disposal. The city of Hackleburg is in Northwest Alabama with a population of about 1600. Twenty-nine people died and all businesses and schools were destroyed. There are immediate and long term needs.
During Phase I, “Shoes on the Move”, we will purchase athletic shoes/sneakers and socks for every child in the elementary school. The Phase II equipment drive will begin in August once we know the needs of the Hackleburg schools.
Please support this cause by sending your check to Tornado Project, c/o ASAHPERD, PO Box 369, Arley, AL 35541. For more details about this project go to www.asahperd.org or contact Donna Hester, dhester@uab.edu
Thank you,
Donna Hester,
Executive Director ASAHPERD
