During a pre-game ceremony against Washington, Joe Warren,
executive vice president and general manager, Corporate Human
Resources, Canon U.S.A., Inc., presented to John Walsh, co-founder
of NCMEC, a check in the amount of $456,566, representing the
cumulative amount of money raised and donated and the approximate
retail value of product donated by Canon U.S.A. to NCMEC in 2015.
To celebrate the joint efforts made to help keep children safe, the
first 18,000 fans that entered the Stadium received a Canon and
Yankees co-branded baseball cap.
“A picture is the most powerful tool that law enforcement has in
the search for a missing child and thanks to Canon’s efforts to
raise awareness, families all across the country are more
knowledgeable and better prepared to take action if their children
were to be missing,” said Linda Krieg, acting CEO, NCMEC. “We are
grateful to Canon for their partnership and longstanding commitment
to child safety.”
“Our partnership with the National Center for Missing &
Exploited Children has helped educate the public about the issue of
missing children and child victimization,” said Kotaro Fukushima,
senior director and general manager, Corporate Communications,
Canon U.S.A., Inc. “Through the support of the New York Yankees, we
are able to reinforce how digital photographs can quickly and
effectively locate missing children. We are honored to celebrate
our successes together in helping to keep our children safe.”
For more than 15 years, Canon and NCMEC have worked together to
raise awareness about the issue of missing and exploited children
through the Canon4Kids program. As part of
the Canon4Kids program, Canon has donated more than 2,200
pieces of equipment, including digital cameras, fax machines,
printers and scanners, which have been distributed to law
enforcement agencies in all 50 states, Puerto Rico and Guam. The
program educates parents and guardians about how a current digital
photograph is one of the most important tools to help locate a
missing child.
