The Amber Menefee Memorial Trailer needs your help!

The Amber Trailer travels all over the State of Texas showing the dangers of drinking and driving.
However, we do not have a reliable means of transporting the trailer to our shows. 
Anyone who would be willing to help us in promoting the message of "Don't Drink and Drive"
by donating a reliable 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck for moving this large trailer to different events,
please contact Sam Owens at 903-517-6587.
Donations are 100% tax deductible, and may make a difference in someone's life.
 

Who was Amber Menefee?

Amber Menefee was born December 11, 1984.  She was
raised in Andrews, Texas, where she graduated from Andrew's
High School in 2003.  She was a member of choir, a cheerleader,
voted class favorite, a member of the varsity girls basketball,
volleyball and track teams.  She graduated from South Plains College
with an Associate of Arts degree in December 2005, where she
was on the Dean's Honor Roll, carried a 3.42 GPA and was a
member of Phi Theta Kappa International and National Honor
Society.  She was currently attending Texas Tech University
where she was majoring in early childhood education. She
attended the Andrews Church of Christ. 

Tragically, on February 11, 2006, Amber's promising life came
to an end.  A 21-year old Amber Menefee died when her
car collided with a SUV that was traveling the wrong
way on the West Loop in Lubbock.  The driver of the other
vehicle, 20-year old Erin Reagan, had a blood alcohol level
of 0.147, nearly double the legal limit, at the time of her arrest.
Erin was indicted on intoxication manslaughter,
a second degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

 

The purpose of the Amber Menefee Mobile Memorial
is to educate and prevent drunk driving.

 

The making of the Amber Menefee Mobile Memorial
In the Spring of 2006, Rodney Jones, Paramedic for the City of Paris, was contacted by Rachel Bruton,
Amber's friend since kindergarten, about using Amber's mangle car and her tragic death to make a
difference in the lives of others.  Jones, teaming up with Paris Police Officers Association President
Sam Owens, traveled to Lubbock to meet with Ms Bruton and Amber's mother, Brenda Menefee,
and to take possession of the wrecked car.  Once in Paris, several people and businesses quickly
began getting involved in making the mobile memorial a reality.  The trailer to carry the car is in
production, and will be debuted in Andrews, Texas, on April 30, 2007. The Amber Menefee Mobile
Memorial will then be available to drunk driver awareness programs, school and community events
to demonstrate and educate the catastrophic effects of drinking and driving.

 

How you can help
The Amber Menefee Mobile Memorial, Inc, is a non-profit group of volunteers who are dedicated
to and support the education and prevention of drinking and driving.  This project would not be
possible without the donations and support of individuals and businesses.  Even though the trailer
is finished, there are many on-going costs and other elements  needed to complete the memorial.
