At its meeting on Dec. 6, the board of directors of IAPE approved sending the David Bird family $10,000 to help in their time of need. Second, the board approved a matching-gifts program; if any IAPE member donates money to the Bird family, IAPE will match that contribution dollar for dollar, up to a maximum of $10,000.
Dow Jones & Co., the parent of The Wall Street Journal, kept Bird on the payroll through the end of July. However, effective Aug. 1, Bird’s status was changed to unpaid leave of absence.
This means that David’s wife Nancy, a stay-at-home wife and mother caring for their two children, has no income with which to provide for her family. The company is maintaining the family’s health-care benefits.
Checks, payable to the Bird Family Trust, may be sent to the IAPE office (5 Schalks Crossing Road, Suite 220, Plainsboro, NJ, 08536), or mailed directly to:
Bird Family Trust
P.O. Box 234
Millington, N.J. 07946
If you make your delivery directly to the Bird Trust, please send a photocopy of your check to the IAPE office so it may send a matching amount.
