    Our featured speaker for the March breakfast is Jennifer Snyder whose passion is speaking to people about the joys and rewards of philanthropy. She knows that with the right information and guidance, everyone can make a difference. In 2007, Jenn Snyder's hometown of Uniontown, Ohio, was devastated by the murder of Jessie Davis and her unborn daughter. The only witness to the attack was Jessie's two-and-a-half year-old son, Blake, who was left alone in his house for two days before he was discovered by his grandmother.

    Thousands of people from Jenn's small town worked with national search organizations to comb through a vast area, and police were finally led to the body of Jessie Davis. She had been in her final weeks of pregnancy. Jenn, watching a news conference on CNN about the case, saw the announcement that they had found the body of Jessie Davis, and Blake's father had been charged with her murder as well as that of their unborn daughter Chloe. Jenn's first thought was of Blake: "This little boy has no mom or dad now." Her second thought was that she had to do something to help him.
     
    Within hours, she had created the idea for Blake's Bright Tomorrow, a trust fund for Blake's college education. Within two weeks, she organized a community fair fund-raiser, and a few important phone calls inspired Countrywide Mortgage to donate a house to Blake's grandmother where she would raise him.
     
    Jenn worked with the Homebuilder's Association Serving Portage and Summit Counties (Ohio), who organized 120 men and women who volunteered over 90 days to gut the house and give it a complete home makeover, and stocking the home with furniture, appliances, and groceries. Everybody worked hard to give the family the home of their dreams. Then, to ease the pain that came with the trial of Blake's dad, Jenn arranged a trip for the family to Walt Disney World.
     
    Join us as Jenn shares how this tragic story turned into one of many blessings through the kindness of others.
     
    RSVP no later than Tuesday, March 16 by 4:00pm.
