BLEVE Records, an independent record label in Nashville, Tenn. has donated 1,000 copies of their new CD release "My First Ride" to raise money for the fallen Lakewood police officers' families.
The CDs were sold in Forza Coffee Company houses located mainly in Washington State. The Forza Coffee Company in Parkland, Wash. was the site of the brutal slaying on November 29 involving four Lakewood police officers.
According to Brian Wurts, President of the Lakewood Police Independent Guild, the CDs sold out within days, raising a total of $15,000 that will be donated to the families of the fallen officers. The four officers leave behind a total of nine children. BLEVE President Mickey Milam said, "This was such a tragic and senseless act of violence. My heart goes out to the families of these four brave officers. Police officers spend their lives protecting and serving others. It has always been BLEVE's goal to help police officers, firefighters and their families in times of disaster, and I can think of no greater disaster than the sudden loss of a loved one."
"My First Ride" is a multi artist compilation CD featuring Ronnie Milsap, George Strait, Vince Gill, John Michael Montgomery, James Otto, The Bacon Brothers, and others.
