Parents, grandparents

and other caregivers are asked to store the completed kits in a secure

place, such as their homes or safe deposit boxes. Families who have completed

similar kits in the past for their children are encouraged to create updated

ones.

"Every

year one out of six missing children is found as a direct result of looking

at the photos," said Rehborg. "We hope all parents will come

out to the Dogwood Festival and take this important safety measure."

After families

finish their ID kits, they are invited to stop by the Tony's 2002 Tour

for an interactive adventure complete with games, prizes, and of course,

pizza! Tony's will donate the proceeds of the pizza sold during the festival

to Camp Sunshine, which provides recreational, educational and support

programs for children with cancer and their families.

The 66th Annual

Atlanta Dogwood Festival will take place April 12-14, 2002 in Piedmont

Park. For more on the festival, visit www.dogwood.org.
