July 2, 2012 - PRLog -- Colin Brown, President and CEO of JM Family Enterprises, Inc., announced a $50,000 donation to the American Red Cross to support disaster relief efforts in North Florida following Tropical Storm Debby.

“Responding to our communities during times of crisis is a part of who we are,” Brown said. “Through our support of the American Red Cross, we know these funds will make a difference for those impacted by the storm as they begin to rebuild.”
