The KlaasKids Foundation for Children and the Dave Mungenast Automotive Family are hosting the 13th Annual KlaasKids Child Safety Day on Saturday, October 24, 2009. The purpose of this event is to fingerprint ID and digitally photograph as many children as possible.
In addition to giving parents a current digital photograph and fingerprints, Child Safety Day offers a do-it-yourself DNA Collection Kit, teaches emergency response and safety skills to kids, and outlines a nine-point plan on what to do if a child disappears.
KlaasKids Child Safety Day is sponsored by the Dave Mungenast Automotive Family and, with your help, is provided to the community free of charge. Last year, thanks to donations from supporters, the event was able to fingerprint ID and photograph close to 900 children. It also was able to contribute $6,488 directly to the KlaasKids Foundation to help further programs both locally and nationwide.
On Saturday, October 24, 2009 KlaasKids Child Safety Day will take place at the following three Dave Mungenast locations: St. Louis Honda (5939 S. Lindbergh Blvd.), St. Louis Acura (13720 Manchester Road), and Alton Toyota-Scion (850 Homer Adams Parkway, Alton). This year’s event promises to be a fun event for children to remember, and for parents to gain expert advice regarding child safety issues. At the event there will be food and refreshments, safety exhibits, a silent auction, local police and fire officials, and a fire truck. Kids will also get a chance to meet Buckle Bear. Buckle Bear, who is sponsored by the St. Louis Auto Dealers Association, teaches kids the importance of buckling their safety belt.
So come on out on October 24 and help the KlaasKids Foundation and the Dave Mungenast Automotive Family support child safety. For more information, visit www.davemungenast.com. For more information on the KlaasKids Foundation for Children, visit www.klaaskids.org. |
