More than 500 Attend Richard Chevrolet’s SIP Kids Event

PRLog (Press Release) – Apr 15, 2008 – The “Safety In Prints” Kids event which was held at Richard Chevrolet in Cheshire last week was a terrific hit.  More than 500 were in attendance over the two day event and parents/guardians were able to obtain free FBI quality fingerprinting of their children.

Safety In Prints Kids, otherwise known as SIP Kids, is a national child safety program that tours the country and provides parents/guardians with FBI quality digital fingerprints and photos of their children. Custom software captures a child’s fingerprints using digital inkless capture device.  Parents/guardians were provided with an 8 ½ x 11” printout of their child’s prints alongside their child’s photo, which may be used anywhere in the world to aid in the event of an emergency situation.

The SIP Kids event included child safety seat inspections performed by the Cheshire Police and demonstrations from JC Karate, Valentin Karate, Dynamite Academy of Gymnastics and Miss Cindy’s School of Dance.  Face painting, balloons and plenty of refreshments rounded out the event.

“SIP Kids is a renowned national organization that is committed to helping families. We’re glad to have the opportunity to work with them and give back to our community,” noted Jason Vianese of Richard Chevrolet.

According to Lytishya Borglum, National Director of SIP Kids, “The event at Richard Chevrolet went very well.  We provided identification materials to help protect more than 300 children and we look forward to working with Richard Chevrolet again next year.”
