May 2, 2010 Third Annual Missing Children's Awareness Day
On May 2, 2010, Christopher's Clubhouse hosted the Third Annual Missing Children's Awareness Day. This was a free event in honor of National Missing Children's Month and for children and families to come together to have fun and learn safety information. Events are held in many cities nationwide to encourage families to take time to talk to their children about safety.
The day began with a Poker Run to raise money to support the programs of Christopher's Clubhouse.
The day ended with the release of over 250 white balloons. Inside of each balloon was the picture and description of a missing child from the Southern California area.
National Missing Children's Day reminds parents, guardians, and other trusted adult role models to make child safety a priority.
