Debby Sayah Progress Check

Through The Debby Sayah Grandparent Outreach Project, KID brings our workshop, Don’t Learn About Recalls from your Grandchild, to range of grandparent events including caregiver support groups, community meetings and special celebrations, such as our Grandparents Day event at Trinity Community Church in Berwyn, IL. To disseminate KID’s safety resources, we participate in safety and health events year-round. Contact KID to inquire about presentation opportunities or if you know of an upcoming community event.

  • (2009) Grandparents Day Email

    To mark National Grandparents Day, happening this Sunday, KID has created a special email notice full of family activities that give grandparents and their families the opportunity to learn more about children’s product safety. National Grandparents Day was founded in 1978 by Marian McQuade as a time to honor our family elders and to spend quality time with them. Forward the email on to the grandparents and families in your lives – and don’t forget to give Grandma and Grandpa a hug this Sunday!

    To receive this and other email notices relating to this project, contact Laura@KidsInDanger.org. There will be a link to the Grandparents Day email in our regular monthly alert. To receive our monthly alert with the latest recalls and top consumer news, click here.
