Every year, children anxiously and
expectantly look forward to opening their holiday presents, and, in recent
years, new technologies are the gifts that top children's wish lists.
While parents, grandparents and
other relatives invest significant time and money on gaming devices, mobile
phones and computers for their children, a critical step can be missed. The
presents are wrapped with care and love, but an even more important gift, the gift of Internet safety, can be
overlooked in the midst of their preparations.
Despite the many wonderful benefits
of the Internet, any technology connected to the Internet also ushers in access to graphic pornography, sexual
predators, cyberbullies and other dangers unless preventative safety
measures are implemented. These
dangers directly threaten the emotional, physical and psychological wellbeing
of our nation's children.
Enough Is Enough developed Internet Safety 101SM to
educate, equip and empower parents, educators and other caring adults to
protect children from threats like these. The four-part, multi-media teaching
series, DVD, workbook and website components were developed in partnership with
the Department of Justice, industry partners, and with the support of friends
like you.
We have made great strides, educating over 5,000 adults with
Internet Safety 101SM resources, but we have more work to do and
need your continued help and support. We are currently preparing for the
national launch of the Internet Safety 101SM program, which will be
kicked off in a virtual press conference in January 2010.
As you consider your year-end giving and the many worthwhile charities needing your support, please remember that we are a very small organization accomplishing big goals with a mission that impacts every family and child in our country.
We have an ambitious agenda
to expand our national reach and bring critical Internet Safety 101SM
resources coast-to-coast to create a strong safety net of empowered
adults. In this economy with
corporate and individual giving down, we need your support to make the launch a
success and bring these important resources into the homes and hands of
parents, educators and other caring adults nationwide.
Will you consider giving the gift of Internet safety this season? Every gift, large or small, makes a huge difference at
Enough Is Enough. We have historically accomplished much with little,
therefore your dollars go a very long way. Your partnership
will enable Enough Is Enough to continue our efforts to make a lasting impact
to protect children from online dangers across this country by equipping caring
adults to be the first line of defense.
Here is how you can help.
Your gift of any size can help make an important difference to protect
children online. Our goal: No Child Left Unprotected! Your generous tax-deductible donation will directly
support EIE's Internet Safety 101SM initiatives and help protect
tens of thousands of children around the country.
From all of us at Enough Is Enough,
we wish you a safe, secure and joy-filled holiday season.
For the Sake of the Children,
Donna, Byron, Lillian, Bob and Cris
