Expedite Media Group participates in drug prevention education program

 

Aurora, IL – Expedite Media Group, continuing its history of involvement with child safety issues, has joined the Aurora, Illinois Police Department, as a donor, in the Department’s annual drive to support child safety.

 

The program, in cooperation with the National Child Safety Council, is aimed at delivering materials into the homes and classrooms of Aurora that educate the community in areas related to child safety, drug and gang issues, Internet safety, peer pressure and other important community concerns. 

 

Expedite Media Group has a history of using its technology to provide services and products related to child safety.  In cooperation with law enforcement departments, the company offers, free of charge, its email marketing services to alert people of missing children cases.  These email alerts have been instrumental in some cases being successfully resolved.  In 2006, the company launched a new product through its Guardian Angel Technology unit, providing GPS tracking on cell phones, again aimed at child safety.  Viet Nguyen, co-founder and CEO of Expedite, says, “This Company will continue its support of initiatives that help to create a safer environment for our children.  Our children are the most precious thing in our lives, and it is everyone’s responsibility to do whatever we can to ensure their safety”.
