FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Contact: Cheryl Ragland, 1-888-343-9799 Innovative Foundation Set to Make Positive Mark: Giving Back and Paying Forward Are Key Components (ATLANTA, GA – August 31, 2013) The concepts of giving back and paying it forward are crucial in today’s fast-paced, ever-changing society. Thus, touching lives is vital to The Lamar Jones Foundation (TLJF), a community-oriented nonprofit organization that is dedicated to making the world in which we live a better place. Built upon the four foundational pillars of community, church, country and education, TLJF is committed to providing opportunities that will ultimately make life better for those which it has the opportunity to touch. TLJF is the brainchild of Cheryl Ragland, CEO of the Marketplace Firm, an independent, Atlanta-based, multi-level market research and analysis firm that provides research data and analysis to global leaders of businesses and non-profit organizations. The organization’s namesake is an Arkansas-based noted community servant and mentor who has touched countless lives through his commitment to the organization’s four foundational pillars (community, church, country and education.) As a result of Mr. Jones’ tutelage and instilling the values of integrity, professionalism, volunteerism, hard work and determination, he played an integral role in helping Ms. Ragland blossom from merely being an ambitious girl into a highly accomplished entrepreneur. Ever grateful for his influence on her life, The Lamar Jones Foundation is the vehicle for Ms. Ragland to give back some of the same life-changing substance that was deposited into her life. Set to launch August 31st, The Lamar Jones Foundation is pleased to have the support of business owners nationwide who pledge to give of their time, talents and treasures to aid in the movement to impact the lives of everyday people. “This is a huge undertaking; I cannot do this by myself,” states Mrs. Ragland. “I realize we have to put positive people who are doing positive things in front of our youth Mrs. Ragland adds, “Although TLJF will give to people with dire needs, the focus of the foundation is to foster and cultivate a mentality of earning your way and paying it forward to receive the greater rewards in life.” This concept is a direct reflection of the values that were imparted to Mrs. Ragland as a result of Mr. Jones’ influence.
