New York, NY
– (December
6, 2011) –
The T.J.
Martell
Foundation,
the music
industry’s
largest
foundation
that
supports
leukemia,
cancer and
AIDS
research, is
proud to
unveil the
“My New
Year’s Wish”
campaign in
time for the
holiday
season.
By logging
onto
www.mynewyearswish.com,
donors have
the
opportunity
to make a
tax
deductible
contribution,
upload their
photo and
add their
New Year’s
Wish or New
Year’s
Resolution
for 2012.
“Many people
have been
intrigued
with the
Facebook
concept of
uploading
photos and
corresponding
with
friends, so
we thought
the ‘My New
Year’s Wish’
campaign
would be a
great way to
incorporate
photos and
messages
with direct
fundraising,”
said T.J.
Martell
Foundation’s
CEO, Laura
Heatherly.
“Many of the
donors have
already
uploaded
messages of
support to
their
friends who
are battling
from various
forms of
cancer.”
Even
legendary
entertainer,
cancer
survivor and
T.J. Martell
Foundation
supporter
Charlie
Daniels has
gotten into
the spirit
of the
campaign by
adding his
photo and
New Year’s
Wish to the
website. "I
hope
everyone
will help
the T.J.
Martell
Foundation
put a lot of
smiles on
many
children's
faces. With
your help,
they can do
it.”
Funds raised
from the “My
New Year’s
Wish”
campaign
will go to
support
early stage
leukemia,
cancer and
AIDs
research for
children and
adults at
eleven top
research
hospitals in
the United
States. The
T.J. Martell
Foundation
is dedicated
to
life-saving
research
that will
turn into
new drug
discoveries,
clinical
trials and
treatments
that will
give
patients
hope for a
healthier
future.
As you head
into the New
Year with
making
resolutions
you never
keep, try
making a
contribution
and your
resolution

www.mynewyearswish.com

this
