"The money generated from these songs will benefit our members and their families at a time when they need it most," says IAFF General President Harold Schaitberger.

BLEVE Entertainment CEO Mickey Milam, a retired Metro Nashville police officer, says, "I started this record label because I want to help these two great organizations be the first on the scene for their members when they need disaster relief."

The label will donate a significant portion of the sales for every CD, download and concert ticket sold to the two disaster relief funds.

"We want to see this single race up the country charts," says Milam. "The more publicity the project gets, the more revenue for the funds."

IAFF members can call their local country radio stations and request "My First Ride." Together, the IAFF and the FOP have a combined strength of 600,000 members. "If every member calls their local radio station and requests 'My First Ride' — and has their friends and family do the same — we could dominate the charts," says Milam.

Contacting the stations is easy. Visit the Bleve web site for phone numbers and emails of local country music stations in your area.

"We hope that everyone will put their local radio station on speed dial, and help us drive this song to the top of the charts," Milam says. Already, "My First Ride" is one of the top five downloaded songs by radio stations in the Unites States and Canada.

With this first single, members can request radio play or purchase a download. "The more sales or downloads a song generates, the more radio play it receives," explains Milam. "We want to hit it from both ends. Our goal here is to get as much attention to this project as possible, because that is going to put money in the relief funds."

"My First Ride" is available on all major music sites, such as iTunes, CDBaby and Amazon, as well as on the BLEVE Entertainment web site. The song will also be featured on the Blair Garner Show, a nationally syndicated program airing from midnight to 6:00 a.m.

The IAFF has been granted open access to the label's books to ensure that contributions make their way to the Disaster Relief Fund, where they can be used to assist members in the United States and Canada who suffer financial hardship as the result of a federally declared disaster area or in the cases of natural or man-made disasters such as floods, hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, fires or civil disturbances.

The IAFF Disaster Relief Fund has provided support to members and their families following the September 11 attacks and Hurricanes Ivan, Katrina, Rita, Wilma, as well as a number of other incidents.
