The Foundation's work in this event has received major state and national newspaper coverage and was featured on CNN broadcasts. Foundation founder Marc Klaas visited the area several times to speak to community groups.
Future planning is focused on extending the tour nationally.
The event is just one of many child safety events the Marc Klaas Foundation takes part in each year. Featured displays and demonstrations included the American Red Cross, Castro Valley Fire Department, Eagle Claw Kung Fu Studio, DARE, and the Eden Medical Center. More Foundation-sponsored child safety days are being planned for the next year in conjunction with the Kiwanis Club of America. The Klaas Action Review is published quarterly for Foundation members. Dedicated to the memory of Polly Klaas, the foundation's purpose is to inform parents, children, and communities about how to prevent crimes against children through personal action and support of legislation.
