MIRACLE RECREATION EQUIPMENT COMPANY PARTNERS WITH
NATIONAL
CENTER FOR MISSING & EXPLOITED CHILDREN TO PROMOTE CHILD SAFETY
Monett, MO USA October 21, 2009—Miracle Recreation
Equipment Company proudly announced today they have become a corporate sponsor
of The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children® (NCMEC). They
have pledged to donate more than $250,000 to NCMEC over the next three
years.
The money will be used to support NCMEC’s mission of finding missing
children, preventing child abduction and sexual exploitation, and serving
child victims and their families. It will also support NCMEC’s
prevention education efforts targeted at providing resources and information
for families to help keep their children safer. As part of the partnership,
NCMEC will develop child safety tips for playgrounds and parks.
According to Mike Sutton, who is the Director of Sales at Miracle and a
former law enforcement officer, security on our playgrounds has not been
addressed appropriately by playground equipment manufacturers. “In
today’s world, we as a society must all look out for the safety and
security of our children.”
Miracle’s donation will be funded by the sale of playgrounds incorporating
Miracle’s new patent pending MiracleTech® integrated security
product line. The MiracleTech® product line includes the ParkWatch® infrared
security camera to digitally record events and to help deter inappropriate
activity, SiteBrite® low voltage lighting, and the SonicScreen® patented
sound technology, which is designed to help deter vandalism after hours.
“It is with the generous support of partners like Miracle that we
are able to continue our work and help make children safer and better
prepared for the risks that they face in today’s world,” said
Ernie Allen, NCMEC president and CEO. “Together we can provide
families with the tools and resources that can help make our communities
safer, something that is important to both of or our organizations.”
