BENEFIT CONCERT FOR BRI LOVEBERRY
22: Days after being crowned Ms. Legacy
20: Days after her graduation
Bri Loveberry was accidentally shot and was temporarily paralyzed.
After reading an article I saw in The Anniston Star, I decided that I wanted to try and do something for this family, but I can't do that without the support of our community. Bri is an amazing person. We went to high school together and while I didn't know her personally, I knew of her, and her older brother coached me in basketball in junior high. Her family is A M A Z I N G and needs our help. This is a show where every amount raised goes to the family to help with medical bills and things like that to get Bri through treatment. There's no fee for entry to this show we just ask that you donate at the door and there will be food and drink vendors there as well. Come out for a good cause and let's give this family an amazing amount of love. Thank you and we hope to see you there!!☀️
