In this season of giving, we truly have so much to be thankful for. With that thought in mind, SMPS Central Florida is donating all of the proceeds from the December 2nd Holiday Social to the RS&H trust funds set up for the family of Otis Beckford and the associates injured in the horrible incident that took place in the Orlando office of RS&H on November 6th. We would like to open up the opportunity for those chapter members who weren't able to attend the social to also have the opportunity to donate to the funds through SMPS. Whether it is a company donation or an individual donation, all monies will go to this truly worthy cause. If you would like to make a donation to the RS&H funds, below is the information on each of the funds. You can send the donations to my office and SMPS Central Florida will collectively send the donations on to RS&H.

Orlando Recovery Fund - This fund is set up for the injured associates: Keyondra Harrison, John Hornbeck, Guy Lugenbeel and Edward Severino. All monies donated to this Fund will be distributed to them in equal shares to help with the additional expenses that we know they will incur as a result of the injuries.

Family of Otis Beckford Fund - This fund is for Otis' family, he left behind a 7-month old daughter, his fiancé - his childhood sweetheart and the mother of his daughter, and his mother. These funds will be used exclusively for the benefit of Otis' survivors.

Please make checks payable to either of the funds listed above. Donations should be sent to:

Katy Klaproth
Robins & Morton
1900 Summit Tower Blvd., Suite 150
Orlando, FL 32810

Again, we will collectively send the donations to RS&H.

Thank you in advance for your giving spirit this holiday season and please continue to keep the employees of RS&H and their family members in your thoughts and prayers.
