 "We are thrilled that supporting a cause like the FREDDY's can be made so simple as a text message," says Shelley Brown, creator and executive producer of the FREDDY© Awards."  "The FREDDY© program, which has become so important to the high school students in our community, desperately needs financial support.  This is such an easy way to help."
