#FiveTooMany: CAMPAIGN FOR CHILDHELP

ISM GIVES BACK—technology for a cause

ISM understands the importance of helping those in need and has created a partnership

with a local charity in association with the conference—Childhelp—as the official sponsored

charity for ISM2016. In their own words... here is Childhelp’s story.

Every 10 seconds, there is a new report of child abuse throughout the United States, and

every minute, there is a new child victim. Of the more than 3 million reports of child abuse

made each year in America, it is estimated that between four and five children die every

day, and we know there are many uncounted for who still suffer in silence. But we also

know we have even more than hope for it to get better. We have your help.

Since 1959, Childhelp has been a national leader in the fight against child abuse and

neglect with the goal of meeting the physical, emotional, educational, and spiritual needs

of abused, neglected, and at-risk children. We focus our efforts on prevention, intervention,

treatment, and community outreach. The principal theme across all of our programs is

to provide the children we serve with an environment of compassion and kindness. We

have made some incredible strides against child abuse through our ongoing prevention

education and treatment efforts, and we are proud to be a national leader in the safety and

protection of children across America.

#FiveTooMany is a community campaign supported by Childhelp’s team of volunteers, staff,

and supporters that aims to continue the success of Childhelp’s efforts against abuse by

supporting successful intervention and treatment initiatives, and nurturing prevention and

outreach efforts. The investment needed to protect one child—for an entire year—with

the life-saving education provided through the Childhelp Speak Up Be Safe prevention

curriculum is just $5. An additional donation of $5 makes sure that a professional counselor

is on hand, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, for that child when they find the courage to ask

for help.

Together, we can take action against inaction.

Together we can keep the five, alive.

We are proud to have made significant progress toward our mission of helping victims of

child abuse and neglect through prevention, intervention, and treatment. It’s through these

programs that we have positively impacted more than 10 million children in our nearly

60-year history, but unfortunately there’s still so much more to be done! To participate in

helping raise $10,000 dollars to support Childhelp and their mission to fight against child

abuse and neglect,

you can donate at

www.childhelp.org/APHSA .

During the conference

look for stations where you can make a donation or plan to participate in our first

community service project on Sunday, September 18 to benefit Childhelp.
