FIRST DAY PROJECT – 9/11 MEMORIAL
Posted on September 3, 2011 by Julia

“The First Day” project is a memorial to 9/11 and is hopefully a source of comfort and catharsis for those suffering from grief and loss. Millions are affected by PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder), including hundreds of thousands of veterans. We hope to raise awareness and funds for grief and trauma counseling and services. I am so pleased and proud to say we are teaming up with The National Veterans Foundation and any proceeds from this project will benefit the NVF and other PTSD organizations.

I have immense gratitude for Jena Serbu at sweetbreadstudios for partnering with me on this meaningful and beautiful project. The following lists include the musicians, actors, crew and the amazing donors who made the project a reality. This would not have been possible without you all!
