Re: Supporting Documentation for Forfeiture Monies (Florida Statute 932.7055)
Thank you for supporting the 2020 Florida Missing Children's Day event! The effort to remember
Florida's missing children and comfort their families can only happen through the generosity
of donors to the Florida Missing Children's Day Foundation. The 501(c)(3) organization was
created pursuant to Section 683.231, Florida Statutes, in direct support of Florida Department of
Law Enforcement's (FDLE) Missing and Endangered Persons Information Clearinghouse
Advisory Board and with the primary mission of providing the basis for the financial support
needed to stage the annual ceremony in Tallahassee.
Because the ceremony and its events support the promotion, education, and awareness of
public safety (to include crime prevention), Florida county and municipal law enforcement
agencies have the unique opportunity to assist Florida Missing Children's Day by donating asset
forfeiture funds pursuant to Section 932.7055, Florida Statutes.
As of November 30, 2020, the Foundation has received $14,750.00 in donations to support the
2020 Florida Missing Children's Day event. This year's event was held virtually (due to COVID-
19 restrictions) on September 14, 2020. Any funds that were received after the 2020 event date
will be used for the 2021 event. Attached is the 2020 Summary of Receipts and Expenses.
Each year the Foundation collects contributions from law enforcement agencies, businesses,
and private donors to provide financial support for the event. The dollars are used for
operational costs to put on the event including rentals of tents, chairs, sound equipment, stage
etc. We also fund awards to local "citizen heroes" that have saved and protected lives, as well
as a statewide essay contest, and victim families travel/hotel expenses to attend the event. The
Foundation has supported Missing Children's Day since 2010 and has been a vital financial
support for FDLE's ability to put on the event.
The Foundation is committed to financially supporting FDLE to ensure that each year the State
honors and recognizes victims and families as well as exemplary citizens, first responders, and
the safety and protection of all children on Florida's Missing Children's Day. The Foundation
relies greatly on our law enforcement partners to provide contributions for the Florida's Missing
Children's Day event and we are very appreciative of your support.
Sincerely,
