NABCA and Kidz-IDz Join Forces to Promote Child Safety

Cherry Hill, NJ – March 28, 2008 – As proponents of child safety, North American Booster Club Association (NABCA) and Kidz-IDz have joined forces to offer two unique products to help protect our nation’s youth from stranger abductions and unintentional injuries.

Free Child Photo ID Card
Every NABCA member is being provided with a free, hard plastic, Child Photo ID & Medical Emergency Card with Electronic ID. Because the ID Card includes valuable medical information in addition to important personal data, it not only helps reunite a lost or missing child with their loved ones or group, but also is helpful in the event of a medical emergency. Specifically, each fully customized ID Card is imprinted with:
· student’s color photo
· student’s first initial & last name
· student’s date of birth, height, & weight
· student’s eye color, hair color, & gender
· student’s medical conditions and allergy info
· emergency contact name with three phone numbers
· optional medical release section In addition to the free Child Photo ID Card, each member also receives a free Electronic ID.

An Electronic ID is recommended as the fastest solution for transferring key information in the event of a missing child episode or a medical emergency. It enables parents to store their child’s photo and descriptive details on their home computer, and includes other helpful files to help prevent and react to an emergency. The ID Card and Electronic ID are free; members contribute only a reduced shipping & handling fee.

According to Steve Beden, President of NABCA, “It’s nice to find something that can truly make a difference in the life of a child or a family and we believe that the Kidz-IDz Child Photo ID Cards can do just that. When we first reviewed the Kidz-IDz Child Photo ID Cards we realized that not only were they an invaluable tool when a child is lost or abducted, but we also recognized that the cards were of tremendous value for kids of all ages who attend camps and clinics or travel with school clubs and teams as the cards contain vital medical information such as allergies and medical conditions as well as serving as a medical release.”

Safetyville Board GameNew this year, NABCA and Kidz-IDz are introducing the Safetyville board game to all Booster Clubs. As stated on the product packaging, and evidenced by favorable product reviews, “Children get so absorbed in this competitive board game that they don’t even realize they are learning how to stay safe in today’s unsafe world!” Normally $20.00 + shipping, NABCA members may purchase Safetyville at a 20% discount. Additionally, NABCA members may participate in the Safetyville Fundraiser. By selling this board game to friends & family, Booster Clubs earn money while helping educate children about how to stay safe in their own environment.

According to Michael Pouls, founder of Kidz-IDz, “We are very excited to be working with NABCA, providing Booster Clubs across the country with not only an outstanding fundraising opportunity that raises money for their club, but also with the tools they need to keep safe in today’s increasingly dangerous world. The Safetyville board game, for example, helps children identify and therefore avoid potentially dangerous situations.”

The North American Booster Club Association (NABCA) (www.boosterclubs.org) is the governing body and first of its kind national booster club association dedicated to providing booster clubs and their extracurricular organizations throughout North America with the highest level of Guidance, Education, Training and Support.
