The Brittany Project will host it’s Hometown Tap Takeover fundraiser Tuesday, June 18th at Puleo’s Grille on Broad Street, from 5-8pm. The event is co-sponsored by Murfreesboro’s own Mayday Brewery. Brittany Project President Kim Maxwell says there’s lots of fun in store for the event…
The purpose of The Brittany Project is to educate, empower and encourage those who struggle with low self-esteem issues, resulting from circumstances involving: child-hood or work-related bullying, dysfunctional or abusive backgrounds, economic status and physical appearance. This is achieved by offering those in need moral support through assigned mentors, while also meeting basic physical needs to those with low income.
Brittany Maxwell was a vibrant young Police Officer with the Murfreesboro Police Dept. Stationed at the Franklin Heights Housing complex where she served as a COPS Officer. Inspired by a young child who said Christmas trees were only for rich people, she started the Christmas Tree Project so families could have a tree who normally wouldn’t have one. Unfortunately, she passed away before the project was complete. Her family & friends have decided to take on her project and named it “The Brittany Project” in her honor. The Brittany Project hands out fully decorated trees to Families that might not have or have not ever had a Christmas Tree.
