SAVE THE DATE: Free Community and Safety Fair at Markquart Toyota

Markquart Toyota and the Keeping Kids Safe Project invite you to a free community and safety fair on Saturday, September 16^th from 10am-4pm. The Keeping Kids Safe Project is one of the top child safety programs in the country. Their programs are designed to bring communities together and raise awareness on how to keep children safe if an emergency should ever arise. Events are always free for families thanks to the local businesses in the communities they are held in.

The program offers FBI quality digital fingerprinting for families. The purpose of this is to provide parents resources to give authorities in the case of an emergency. Many children are reported missing in the US each year. Some are found within minutes or hours, but all law enforcement officials agree that time is critical in the recovery of a missing child. A major source of wasted time comes from gathering of resources like fingerprints and statistical information and photographs. At the Keeping Kids Safe Project event your family can acquire a pre-made record so that if there is ever an emergency you will already have a collection of needed resources.

The Keeping Kids Safe Project also strives to focus on educating families about how to protect themselves. By providing valuable information to discuss and practice with children, they are helping families be as prepared as possible if they are in a potentially harmful information. The records collected during the event are meant to be helpful in case of an emergency, but the overall goal is to provide information that will make it so that parents should never have to use the records.

For our event in the Chippewa Valley, the Keeping Kids Safe Project is working with the Chippewa County Sheriff’s Department, Operation Lifesaver and the United Way of the Greater Chippewa Valley in addition to Markquart Toyota. This event is completely free to the public and will be hosted at our dealership, located conveniently between Eau Claire and Chippewa Falls, just off of US 53.
