FEATURED COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP:
Child Find thanks all the caring folks involved
in raising funds and awareness at
The 4th Annual
UPROAR MUSIC FESTIVAL
The Rockstar Energy Drink Uproar Festival team
has again partnered with CHILD FIND in 2013,
Each festival site will feature a Cause Tent where Child Find's information materials will be prominently displayed and readily available to concert-goers - nationwide!
The UPROAR music festival was launched in 2010 for a 2-month tour of arenas across the US and Canada. Child Find safety messages, hotline numbers and missing children posters were taken along for the ride. Over $40,000 was raised from special promotions.
UPROAR again partnered with Child Find in 2011, sharing a portion of product sales and the gate, resulting in a gift of $14,720 - and was back in 2012 donating proceeds from merchandise sales which resulted in a gift of $6680.
I’m really, really excited about this charity we have for UPROAR, Child Find America. We’re going to be doing this massive awareness for missing and abducted children in this country. .. We’ve instituted a pretty substantial awareness campaign and we’re putting in money and effort to bring some light to that.
–John Reese, UPROAR producer, in a 2010 Pollstar interview
When I was growing up, my whole world revolved around music. Even if we can save one child from being taken. Maybe that kid will pick up the guitar and rock the UPROAR festival one day.
--John Oakes, UPROAR producer
On the road: UPROAR promoters provided "traveling billboards" on the side
of equipment trucks, advertising Child Find's toll-free helpline and website.

-PLAY IT SAFE-
While abduction by a stranger is the most dangerous form of kidnapping, more kids are taken and harmed by family acquaintances. Therefore the most important safety messages to teach kids discuss, not so much WHO to avoid, but HOW to identify and avoid potentially dangerous situations.
-
Share the “Safety Tips” with the children in your life by attaching them to the fridge or family bulletin board as a conversation starter or review reminder.
-
Make copies for friends and family.
