This program offers a service to members of your
community, generates support for D.A.R.E. America
and provides direct benefit to your D.A.R.E.
program.
The Child Safety ID Program involves a safety event
held in your community. Specially selected
representatives, who have received training
supervised by D.A.R.E. America, conduct the event.
As
part of a safety event, the public is offered, FREE
a Child Safety Kit. During the safety event,
products including D.A.R.E. t-shirts and other
child-oriented merchandise are displayed and
available for purchase.
A
portion of the proceeds from the sale of these
products is donated to D.A.R.E. America. The program
does not involve a solicitation for contributions
from the public; what are offered are high quality
goods at deeply discounted prices.
The funding provided enables D.A.R.E. America to
fulfill its mission of providing high quality
curricula, training, classroom materials and support
for local D.A.R.E. programs.
During various times of the year a Toy Fair may be
held in conjunction with a safety event. The public
is offered the opportunity to purchase fantastic
toys and educational items, all of which are
provided to the local D.A.R.E. program. The local
D.A.R.E. program chooses how the items are to be
distributed to children in the community.
More information about Toy Fairs will be provided in
a subsequent bulletin.
A
Child Safety ID Program activity may be conducted at
any high volume foot traffic location in your
community. Safety events are conducted between the
hours of 10:30 AM- 6:30 PM, Monday through Saturday.
Prior to an event being held permission is obtained
from the concerned property manager, required
permits are secured and advance notice is provided
to concerned law enforcement agency.
The safety event is a great way to remind children
and adults about good safety practices. Children
familiar with the information provided and through
role-playing with parents will be more likely to
avoid finding themselves in dangerous situations.
