Trayvon Martin Tribute Card
Attention: A portion of the proceeds from each card will go directly to the Trayvon Martin
Foundation.
After hearing about not guilty verdict of George Zimmerman in the shooting death of
Trayvon Martin, I was hurt and saddened. I began to cry and then I began to think:
“What can I do to help?” An artist by nature, I naturally think in card! My mind went on a
rampage trying to figure out how I could create something that would be worthy of the
cause it would serve. After creating the concept and consulting with my amazing
graphic designer, Devin C. Manning; the Trayvon Martin Tribute Card was born.
The Trayvon Martin Tribute Card is the first in a five card series. This 6” x 6” piece, is
printed on high quality 100 lb. card stock. This card is a definite conversation piece.
With soul piercing eyes, the face of Trayvon Martin is comprised of the names of men,
women, and children who have all been either murdered or severely beaten senselessly.
Goals of the Trayvon Martin Tribute Card
• Keep the conversation of senseless gun violence open. We as a nation must do
everything we can to help prevent these acts. We must be more proactive in our
neighborhoods. We must talk to our council members, congressmen, aldermen, etc.
We must go out and VOTE in all elections.
• Help raise money for the Trayvon Martin Foundation. Its mission: “to advocate
that crime victims and their families not be ignored in the discussions about violent
crime, to increase public awareness of all forms of racial, ethnic and gender profiling,
educate youth on conflict resolution techniques, and to reduce the incidences where
confrontations between strangers turn deadly.”
By purchasing this card, you will join me, The Gift Is Yours, LLC and many others in our shared goal
of supporting the Trayvon Martin family and the many other families across this nation
who have been joined by common tragedy. Let us turn these tragedies into triumphs together!
