\"\"T<\/span>he KlaasKids Foundation Print-A-Thon<\/a> has been providing free Child Identification throughout the USA since 1994. Our oldest and most loyal sponsor, the St. Louis, Missouri based Dave Mungenast Auto Family<\/a> has been hosting KlaasKids signature child safety event since 1996. This Saturday 10\/15 marks our 15th<\/sup>annual Print-A-Thon in St. Louis, MO.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n
The Print-A-Thon is a high energy child safety event that utilizes 21st<\/sup> Century technology. KlaasKids fingerprints and photographs children, provides their parents with DNA Collection Kits, pro-active child safety information, and a nine-point-plan on what to do if a child disappears. <\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Always free to the public, the KlaasKids Print-A-Thon has been serving America\u2019s families for more than a decade.\u00a0 Since 1994, the KlaasKids Print-A-Thon has fingerprinted and photographed more than 1,000,000 children at no cost to families and without data basing personal or private information.\u00a0 The Print-A-Thon is always underwritten by community minded sponsors like the Dave Mungenast Auto Family who wish to maintain safe communities and give back to their loyal customers.\u00a0<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
The Print-A-Thon\u00a0utilizes imaging systems originally developed for federal law enforcement agencies by Sentry Technology<\/a>\u00a0that integrate digitized computer technology to fingerprint and photograph children quickly without ink or film. \u00a0Parents immediately receive an\u00a0English\u00a0<\/em>or Spanish<\/em>\u00a0language 81\/2 X 11 inch\u00a0Bio-Doc\u00ae<\/a> featuring forensic quality, magnified fingerprints, updated photograph, and blank form fields for personal and identifying information.\u00a0 The back of the Bio-Doc<\/a>\u00a0provides safety rules for kids, safety suggestions for parents, instructions for properly storing DNA samples using household items and the 9-step emergency plan.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 Since the Foundation does not database children\u2019s personal or private information privacy is guaranteed.\u00a0 Parents receive the only existing copy of the \u201cBio-Doc\u201d\u00ae.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
On Saturday, October 15, KlaasKids will conduct Print-A-Thon\u2019s at 4-separate Mungenast Automotive Family locations<\/a>. KlaasKids is flying in our \u201cA\u201d Team to ensure that St. Louis continues to receive the high quality, professional Child ID service that Dave Mungenast and KlaasKids has been providing since 1996.<\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/div>\n
On event day one of our \u201cA\u201d Team coordinators will fingerprint and photograph children at each location from 9:00 am until 3:00 pm. Since it only takes between 1 and 2 minutes to serve each child, hundreds of families can take advantage of this free service during the course of the event.\u00a0 Because the Foundation utilizes computerized\/digitized technology we are able to develop magnified, forensic\u00a0quality fingerprints on children as young as 3-months old: a feat that no other system can duplicate. KlaasKids Foundation coordinators will answer child safety questions and distribute no cost child and parent safety information. Don\u2019t miss out on this rare and unique opportunity. <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
Facilitating a Print-A-Thon is a win\/win for all the parties involved. It allows our fantastic sponsors to fulfill social responsibility by creating safer communities. It provides parents with an opportunity to engage a safety dialog with their children in a fun and positive environment. However the biggest winners of all are the kids, because they receive tools that enable them to make choices and decisions that will help to avoid victimization in the first place.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>Individually, none of us has the power to effect profound change, but, by reaching out and linking arms, together, we can change the world.<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n

\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n
\u00a0I will travel to each location with kidnap survivor Midsi Sanchez<\/a> to meet families, reacquaint with old friends and make new friends.<\/span><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
