The 3rd Annual

UPROAR FESTIVAL

 is again partnering with

CHILD FIND in 2012!

---

VIP Tickets for the festival are being auctioned on eBay - sales to benefit Child Find

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 $14,720.51

 

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

CUSTARD n' JELLY

Almost a year ago Child Find was introduced to “7 innocent, yet adorably hip, plush guardian angels” based on the drawings of an 8 year girl named Ally. Ally’s mom and dad, Julie and Sam, invited Child Find and other children’s charities to partner with their start-up business called “Custard ‘n Jelly” (a play on the italian phrase, custodi angeli, which means guardian angel.)  Julie explained that the venture’s main focus is helping kids, and getting them to recognize the importance of sharing. Each “angel” possesses unique qualities and gifts to share. Further, with the purchase of an angel, children’s parents have the opportunity to register the doll on the Custard n’ Jelly (Cn’J) website, where 10% of the profits from that doll’s sale would go to one of the partner charities – and the child gets to choose the charity!

Since then, Time magazine listed them among “The 15 Smartest Toys for Young Geniuses.”

The angels also garnered Creative Child Magazine’s Top Toy of the Year Award in the soft toy category.

Normally, Child Find does not endorse products, but were so charmed by the dolls, and impressed with their message, that we’re spreading the word.  We particularly like the lessons this product imparts - that kids can make choices that positively impact themselves and others. With this comes confidence, and with confidence comes a sense of self-determination. A more confident child is a safer child.

Of course, the 10% donation is appreciated as well – and goes directly to Child Find’s services and programs of prevention, location and education.

To learn more about Cn’J’s history – and read each doll’s unique bio – just click on picture above, which will take you to the official website. If you wish to purchase a doll, please be sure to enter through this link, it will code your order and C n’J will donate another 10% to Child Find for making the connection!
