Happy Holidays!
Dear Friend:

 

I hope this letter finds you well, and I hope you are enjoying all of the merriment associated with this holiday season!

 

According to Nielsen Marketing and Research, the top three gifts on children's Christmas lists this year are the: 

 

iPad, iPod Touch and iPhone

 

If you're thinking of purchasing one of these items -- or any other technological device like a lap top, Wii or Xbox -- for your son, daughter, niece, nephew or grandchild, Enough Is Enough (EIE) recommends you also purchase our award-winning, multimedia Internet Safety 101 program kit for yourself. 

 

Here's why:

 

The above mentioned devices are all Internet-enabled devices. This means kids may

become more vulnerable to digital dangers including cyberbullying, accidental p*rnography exposure and online predators when using these devices.

 

While you as loving parents and caregivers are the ones to decide what to purchase for the children in your lives this holiday season, we at Enough Is Enough strongly encourage you to make sure you are educated, equipped and empowered to protect the special children in your life from digital dangers. 

 

 The Internet Safety 101 program was awarded the 2009 Silver Davey Award in the educational film category, as well as the 2010 Silver Telly Award for Best DVD Teaching Series. To receive a copy of the award-winning program, call us at 1-888-744-0004.

 

No child is immune from Internet dangers.  However, when you purchase our program and implement Rules 'N Tools (non-technical and technical measures) on Internet-enabled devices, you take an active part in protecting kids online, becoming their first line of defense.

 

We are making a big impact on all issues related to Internet safety. Lives are being changed, children's innocence is being protected, one child, one home at a time. December is the biggest giving season for charities, and EIE is no exception. We need your financial support NOW. As you may know, Congressional earmarks, our primary source of funding, are things of the past. Therefore, now more than ever, we must rely on our friends and supporters to pick up the financial baton and carry us through this time of transition. Please support us with your most generous donation possible. To donate, simply click the picture below or call us directly at 1-888-744-0004.

 

 

Thank you for making the biggest investment you can. Our children are our most precious resource, and there is nothing more important in the world than protecting them from harm and doing all we can to preserve their innocence. It is for their sake, I humbly ask you to stand with us.

 

From my heart,

 

Donna Rice Hughes 

President & CEO, Enough Is Enough
