History:
Jennifer Ann\'s Group was created in February, 2006 after the murder of Jennifer Ann
Crecente on February 15, 2006 by a former boyfriend. Jennifer, a high school senior,
was an honors student that attended school in Austin, Texas and spent her summers
with her father in Atlanta, Georgia.

The 501 (c) (3) group works to educate teens and their friends and families about
the prevalence of Teen Dating Violence as well as how to identify abusive
relationships. Since its inception Jennifer Ann\'s Group has piloted an Educational
Card program with credit-card quality plastic cards that identify warning signs of
an abusive relationship. The pilot program of 1,000 cards was distributed to high
schools, church groups, medical offices and The Texas Psychological Association.

According to a study conducted by Teenage Research Unlimited, a third of teen girls
in dating relationships fear for their personal safety.
