Help us keep more children safe
in 2004!
Dear Howard and Way Huge Hair
Productions,
With a chill in the air and the
holidays just around the corner, we have a lot to be grateful
for this season at the Polly Klaas Foundation - thanks in part
to tremendous support from people like you. From taking action
to pass the National Amber Alert Plan to ordering Child Safety
Kits and spreading the word about our services to keep kids
safe, you've helped us extend joy and warmth to many more
families this holiday season. Thank you.
The Polly Klaas Foundation is
proud of the great strides we've made together this year, and
we hope you are too! Let's take a step back to remember some
important achievements from 2003:
President Bush signed Amber
Alert into Federal Law in April 2003
46 states passed statewide
Amber Alert plans
More than 110 children returned
home safely thanks to Amber Alerts issued
Polly Klaas Foundation helped
families in 494 missing child cases*

We sure have come a long way
this year, and your dedication and commitment to the Polly
Klaas Foundation is what makes these accomplishments possible.
As we enter more challenging times for children and families
in 2004, we need your continued support now more than ever. In
honor of the vision we share to keep even more kids safe in
2004, please, click here to make a holiday gift to Polly Klaas
