Jake and Travis Arms of Life Fund

The purpose of the Jake and Travis Arms of Life Fund is to honor the lives of Jake and Travis Findley and insure that another tragic accident like this does not happen to our community again. Jake and Travis lost their lives on February 3, 2007 when the SUV they were riding in collided with a train on Stones Crossing Road. This crossing does not have cross arms or flashing lights to warn drivers of oncoming trains. 

The goal of our fundraising effort is to add flashing lights and cross arms to the railroad crossings at Stones Crossing Road, Whiteland Road, Smokey Row and Olive Branch. This will help protect the hundreds of school buses, thousands of school children and our community in general who use these railroad crossings every day.

The Family Success Initiative

The Family Success Initiative, with help from the Hawthorne Community Center, is teaming together to raise money to purchase one or more bullet proof vests for Indiana's K-9 Police Dogs.  This special project began because of a loving 12 year old girl, Brittany Siegman.  Brittany's heartbreak over seeing a K-9 police dog killed in the line of duty, leading to her desire to raise money for K-9 body armor vests.  Her excitement rubbed off and she soon got her family to help her with the involvement.  Then, members of Family Success program and Maplewood Elementary School began raising funds.  Each K-9 body armor vests cost $650.  Brittany is still a ways from her goal, but with your help, she could soon reach her goal of donating at least one vest to Indiana's Police Dogs.  For donations, please make your check to : Elite -K-9 to:
