Word Entertainment, inspired by Platinum selling, award-winning recording artist Mark Schultz's "Across America" benefit bicycle ride that brought in more than $250,000 to help orphans and widows through the Family Christian Stores James Fund, has started the Mark Schultz Activity Fund. This fund, named in Schultz's honor, will be used to provide fun outings for the children at the Back2Back Ministries children's home in Monterrey, Mexico.

It was this children's home that Schultz and his wife, Kate, visited in the spring of 2006 with the James Fund, and that gave Schultz inspiration as he rode over 3,500 miles to benefit orphans and widows worldwide. Through the new Mark Schultz Activity Fund, these children will have the opportunity to visit the amusement park, movie theatre and various outings that the children would normally never have the chance to experience

Word Entertainment has made a first donation of $1,000 to the fund with the idea of keeping it subsidized as the fund depletes. Others interested in making a donation can participate by logging onto www.jamesfund.org
