Avril Jones

Avril Jones is President of ME&C INC. 

"I have been involved in Philanthropy since I was age seven, through my Uncle, who was a National President for a Nonprofit. I understand how much of an impact joining forces can be, to help raise awareness. It was that exact reason I got into Marketing and Branding, to help lend voices to causes, products, initiatives and people who could bring change. Personally I lived in a community where a high school football player's life was cut short and a community was left with a hole because of SCA. As a mother I know our future belongs to our children and if there is a way to ensure more of our future is protected through heart screenings, then I am 1000% behind SafeBeat. I think every parent should be!"
