Community rallies in suppoi
of 12 Bonfire accident victi
BY JULIE ZUCKER
The Battalion
As the Bonfire tragedy continues
to affect the Texas A&M communi
ty, Brazos Valley businesses are ral
lying around A&M to assist and
support those grieving.
Joe Brown, public information
officer for the City of Bryan, said the
help from surrounding areas shows
the true spirit of Aggieland.
“The thing about it is,' no one
asked them to help,” he said. “All
of the companies and businesses
supported A&M out of the kind
ness of their hearts and love for
the Aggies.”
Among the organizations who
helped during the recovery of the
Bonfire victims are businesses
that are doing their part to lessen
the suffering.
Kenneth Williamson, manager
of Inspirations in Post Oak Mall,
said they worked all night to reprint
shirts to raise money for the vic
tims’ families.
“We pulled hundreds of Bonfire
shirts off the shelves and printed a
ribbon and an ‘in memory’ saying
on the sleeves,” he said. “A lot of
people want something permanent
to wear to remember those A&M
has lost.”
Williamson said Inspirations
memorial shirts have flown off the
shelves, and they plan to print new
designs this week.
The Monkee Bar in downtown
Bryan and KHLR 103.9 will host a
benefit concert for the victims
Tuesday at 7 p.m. to raise money
for a Bonfire memorial.
The concert will be $5 and in
cludes performances by Ocean X,
Linus, Last Free Exit and Blue
Earth.
Kevin McKay of KHLR 103.9
and Chris Mercer, co-owner of the
Monkey Bar and Class of ’95, said
all proceeds go to the families and
the memorial fund.

Joey Armstrong, program di
rector for B102, co-creator of the
remix and morning show host,
said the tape is a tribute to those
students who perished in the Bon
fire accident.
“We hope to release this tape to
the public in memory of the fallen
Ags in thought of their parents and
the Aggies who remain in the hos
pital,” he said.
Armstrong said he hopes the song
brings comfort and peaceful feelings
to those who are still hurting.
Copies will be sold for $5 to the
public and will be given as gifts to
close relatives and family members
of the victims.
“Everyone here at our facility
prays for a speedy recovery and our
deep thoughts and prayers go out to
the families and friends of the fall
en Ags and the A&M community,”
he said.
