Honorable Kevin J. Rambosk, Sherifl

Naples, FL 341 12
Dear Sherifl Kevin J. Rambosk,
休卜γ
The statistics related to missing children across our country are starlling. The United
States Department o, Justice reported that in a one year period, 797,500 children were reported
missing. That amounts to 2,185 children reported missing each day. Though many missing
children return safely, there are a number who are never recovered. Families and those
connected lo a missing child are teft to deal with the daily agony lrom lhe counlless unanswered
questions that surround the disappearance. The pain never goes away and the void left in their
lives cannot be filled.
It is important that these families know they are supported and their missing child is not
Iorgotten. For that reason, the Florida Missing Children's Day Foundation, lnc. was formed in
support of the Florida Department ol Law Enlorcemenls (FDLE) Missing and Endangered
Persons lnlormation Clearinghouse Advisory Board. The primary mission ot the Florida Missing
Children's Day Foundation, lnc. is to sponsor the Florida Missing Children's Day each year in
Tallahassee. This moving ceremony brings together state ofticials, law enlorcement officers,
educalors and citizens lrom around Florida, to surround the lamilies ol missing children, oflering
supporl, remembrance, and hope.
Florida Missing Children's Day provides an opportunity to recognize exceptional lirst
responders, citizens and school employees who work to protect our state's children, as well as
brave young heroes who acted courageously in the face oJ abduction. There is also a child
identirication and salety lair held betore the event, with canine tracking bloodhounds from the
Jimmy Ryce Center greeting attendees. The ceremony and the salety ,air are an integral
component of Florida's ongoing efforts lo raise awareness and educate the public about missing
person issues.
The effort to remember Florida's missing children and comfort their lamilies can only
happen lhrough the generosity ot donors to the Florida Missing Children's Day Foundation. The
501(c)(3) organization was crealed in direct-support of FDLE with the mission ol providing the
base lor the linancial support needed to stage the annual ceremony. As we prepare lor the 2018
Florida Missing Children's Day on Monday, September 1Orh, the Florida Missing Children's Day
Foundation needs your support. The included inlormation provides sponsorship opportunilies to
allow you to show your support ol the missing and lheir families. Please see the attached Jorm
