Christmas Without You

On September 15, 2003 Daniel died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome; also known as SIDS.  Daniel was only 8 months old.  We dedicate this album to OUR GRANDSON, Daniel Lee Rasnick II.

SIDS continues to be the number ONE cause of death in infants between the ages of 1 month and 1 year.  There are around 3,000 infants every year that die from SIDS.  To put those numbers into perspective, that’s an average of 8 infants every day or another grieving family every 3 hours.  As far as we’re concerned, that’s 3,000 too many! 

We thought it would be sad to let Daniel’s death fall by the wayside as just another SIDS statistic, so we decided to take action and join in the search for answers, with the hope that someday others won’t have to experience the pain of losing a child or grandchild to SIDS.   We ask you to join us in the search for the cause and the cure for SIDS!

All proceeds from the sale of this album are donated to the CJ Foundation for SIDS, which is a non-profit organization dedicated to SIDS research, education and family support.  You can learn more about the foundation by visiting their web site at: www.CJSIDS.com. 

For an additional $5.00 donation you can receive your copy of Christmas Without You autographed by Jeff Douglas, Mike Campbell, Ryan Pierce, Don Carr, Chris Golden, Jimmy Fulbright, Fred Satterfield, Larry Stewart, Dee Allen, Jimmy Ponder, Mark McCauley and Ron Fairchild.
