The KlaasKids Foundation was created following the 1993 kidnap and murder of 12-year-old Polly Klaas. KlaasKids Foundation child safety programs are designed to promote awareness and education for parents and children in an effort to protect children against violence. Since 1994, Print-A-Thon events have fingerprinted and photographed more than 1,000,000 children at no cost to families and without data basing children’s personal and private information. As a service to the community Naples Alliance for Children in cooperation with Florida Coalition Against Human Trafficking is underwriting this program so that there is no charge to families. We thank the United Way of Collier County for making it possible for us to offer this community service during their annual “Walk for the Way.” Naples Alliance for Children: 660 Ninth Street North, Naples, FL 34102 www.napleschild.org KlaasKids Foundation: Phone: 415.331.6867 Fax 415.331.5633 www.klaaskids.org REACH FOR THE STARS:HELPING YOUR CHILD OVERCOME OBSTACLES & REALIZE POTENTIAL NAFC provides information and tools for parents and caregivers so they can navigate the education system and effectively advocate for their special needs, gifted and preschool children to ensure that they receive appropriate services, overcome obstacles and realize their potential.
