Amber Alert Registry Announces Collaborative Partnerships with Autism Speaks and Deliver the Dream

When community-minded organizations come together to support each other's missions we all win, which is why the folks at Amber Alert Registry (AAR) are so pleased to announce their latest collaborative partners, Autism Speaks and Deliver the Dream.  “Our goal is to be a major force in giving back to the community,” says AAR Vice President Zephora Haddon.  “We're proud to be a social fundraising company for schools and non-profits because we believe it's the right way to conduct business.”   

All three organizations have a common theme:  promoting the safety and emotional well-being of children and their families.  Amber Alert Registry provides a secure website for proactive parents and caregivers to store crucial data – including medical information – online.  Parents can than allow emergency personnel  access to the data at the click of a mouse in an emergency.  Deliver the Dream offers support and respite retreats for families facing a crisis or serious medical issue.  And Autism Speaks is the nation's largest autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research, increasing awareness, and advocating for the needs of individuals with autism and their families.   

“Many of our kids and adults tend to wander, and our kids can be drawn to water,” says Jaclyn Merens, Autism Speaks South Florida Regional Director.  “With AAR we have the ability in a panic situation to upload up information immediately and get it to the authorities.”  Merens knows first-hand what that panic feels like, and is a firm believer in the benefit of Amber Alert Registry.  "If I'd had this for my son a few years back when he got lost at the mall for 4 ½ hrs it would have made things so much easier." 

As part of their collaboration, Amber Alert Registry has made it easy to support Autism Speaks and Deliver the Dream by committing to the partnership financially.  Annual AAR registration costs $19.95 for the first child and an additional $4.95 for each sibling.  At checkout on the AAR website, a drop-down menu allows purchasers to choose which partner they wish to support.  Amber Alert Registry then donates $5.00 directly to the organization.  It's a simple yet effective model, and Deliver the Dream Executive Director Paul Withrow is excited about the potential.  “Deliver the Dream and AAR have established themselves as organizations who care deeply for the welfare of children and their families.  By joining forces, we are able to share our resources with those who might otherwise have been unaware of the services available to them.”  Adds Merens of Autism Speaks, “For us to be able to work with AAR and give our families one more piece of the puzzle that can give them peace of mind is invaluable.” 

According to AAR’s Haddon, this is just the beginning.  "We're always looking for more opportunities to support the community.  Amber Alert Registry is actively seeking additional collaborative partnerships with 501c3's, and we also offer no-cost fundraising programs for schools."  Interested organizations can contact Haddon at contact@amberalertregistry.com.
