KlaasKids Foundation for Children

About the KlaasKids Foundation For Children by Marc Klaas

The KlaasKids Foundation was established in 1994 to give meaning to the death of my twelve-year-old daughter kidnap and murder victim Polly Hannah Klaas and to create a legacy in her name that would be protective of children for generations to come. Conceived with an initial investment of $2,000 the Foundation’s mission is to stop crimes against children.

America’s continued evolution is predicated on the unspoken promise of past generations that we will give our children a better world than was given to us. As a country created around the concept of the individual, the worth of the individual and the rights of the individual, our ability to fulfill the promise to our children has allowed America to develop into the most influential and powerful nation in world history. We have more data, knowledge and information than has been compiled in all previous generations combined and how we use it will help determine our fate as a people.

I'm glad I visited here. I always thought that KK was a 'search organization' much like TES.

I see their mission statement is much broader

Foundation’s mission is to stop crimes against children.

I must educate myself better.

Father promotes safety awareness after death of his daughter
A father is on a mission to keep other kids safe after the death of his daughter. Polly Klaas was kidnapped and murdered in 1993. Now Marc Klaas is trying to give tools to parents to help find their children quickly.
Klaas travels around the country promoting safety awareness and education for parents and kids. More than a million kids have been photographed and fingerprinted because of his work. Louisville families got that chance on Sunday at a time when an Indiana University student is still missing.
