Brenda Lee will be doing a benefit fund raiser for the Currey Ingram Academy in Nashville on February 19 at 8:00 p.m.  Currey Ingram Academy is a self sustaining, private school supported by donations for the education and nurture of children with special needs.
This is a cause very near and dear to Brenda. She has been and continues to be involved, and active with the programs, teachers and administrators.  She interacts and has developed a keen rapport with the students as well.  Not only has Brenda committed to this fund raiser, she will continue to be an advocate of Currey Ingram Academy.
For those of you who would like to support her efforts, you may do so by sending a contribution.  All will be graciously accepted and no contribution will be considered too small.  Please know that because of the volume of responses, Brenda is not able to personally respond to each contributor.  She will, however, personally present all gifts to the administration of Currey Ingram Academy on behalf of her friends and fans.
Though the benefit will be held Feb. 19, there is no specific deadline.  Brenda will gratefully and proudly present the gifts given from your heart at any time.
Please send a check or money order – no cash – payable to Currey Ingram Academy to:
