FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TEN STEPS TO SAFETY SERIES ANNOUNCED

Cherry Hill, NJ – July 15, 2008 – Under the guidance of its partner, Kidz-IDz, the North American Booster Club Association (NABCA) has added child safety awareness and education to its core mission.

NABCA is proud to unveil the first of many safety initiatives, the TEN STEPS TO SAFEY SERIES. This series will provide Booster Club members with lessons on Water Safety, Bicycle Safety, Traffic Safety, Outdoor Safety, School Safety, Fire Safety, Halloween Safety, Home Safety, Drug & Alcohol Safety, and finally, Stranger Safety. Steve Beden, Executive DirectOR of NABCA, explains that “the lessons that we have selected for the Ten Steps to Safety Series represent a broad range of issues that our children encounter on a daily basis. Empowering our children to act appropriately in everyday scenarios will go a long way toward promoting smart decision making techniques, and preventing mishaps.”

Beginning in August, each lesson will be provided to NABCA members in an email format, bi-weekly, with the series culminating in December. According to Michael Pouls, Founder of Kidz-IDz, “parents will be encouraged to review each lesson with their children, so that together, they may establish best practices that integrate with their own unique lifestyle and family guidelines.”

Under the guidance of their parents, children are invited to sketch & color a picture that illustrates what they learned after each TEN STEPS TO SAFETY LESSON. Pictures may be submitted to Kidz-IDz via email or mail, and if selected, will be posted on NABCA’s website for all to appreciate. Furthermore, one winning picture will be selected to receive a free Safetyville board game. Created by Michael Pouls at Kidz-IDz, Safetyville is a great way for families to spent time together while learning important safety lessons. What’s more, 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.

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.

Kidz-IDz, a leader in child safety, was founded in 2002 by child safety advocate, Michael Pouls. Six years thereafter, in early 2008, the Free ID Card Program for all Booster Club members was launched. Booster Club members simply log onto www.kidzidz.com/nabca to get their free Child Photo ID & Medical Emergency Card with bonus Electronic ID (nominal s&h). The ID Card may be shown to helpful bystanders to help locate a lost child who has wandered from their parents or group, or it may be provided to medical personnel in the event of a medical emergency. Meanwhile, the Electronic ID includes personalized files that parents may update & store in the privacy of their home computer, which may be passed along, electronically, to law enforcement agencies and missing children agencies. For more information, please contact Michael Pouls or Mindy Hershorin at 610-520-2014.
