Alexandria, VA (Safe Side Company/ www.thesafeside.com) - In honor of
National Missing Children's day May 25th, The Safe Side Company this week releases Cool Tunes, an upbeat, kid-friendly CD produced by Grammy Award nominated
Christopher Davis. The CD will be available at stores nationwide as well as on the company's web site. Ten percent of gross proceeds from the CD's sales will be donated to the
National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC).
'Keeping the message of child safety positive and empowering for children is what makes The Safe Side unique in this market,' said Julie Clark, who founded The Safe Side with John Walsh in 2005. 'We want these important safety messages to be a part of the everyday lives of kids, and music that speaks to them in powerful, meaningful ways will help to cement these lessons.'
The CD's ten songs focus on 'Hot Tips' taught in The Safe Side Stranger Safety DVD, from not answering the door alone to always staying with a trusted adult in public. The music styles are all encompassing, featuring rock, pop, and rhythmic sounds that hit the mark for the 5-10 year old target audience.
