You are invited to join with us in a day which
focuses on Child Safety Awareness.
Now in its 6th year, Day for Daniel continues to grow on a National scale and is recognised as Australia’s largest participation event of its type.
The Daniel Morcombe Foundation was established in
2005 by Denise and Bruce Morcombe following the tragic abduction and suspected murder of their 13 year old
son Daniel in December 2003.
To promote the Foundation’s aims of making the world a safer place for our children, an annual awareness Day for Daniel
is held, involving schools and local communities. In 2011
up to 500,000 school aged children are expected to
participate on a local level.
A variety of activities are suggested and these range from
a talk about internet safety in class, a presentation by a
school based police officer, completing an interactive educational program like ‘Being Safety Smart”, watching
our DVD titled ‘Foundation Red’ or participate in a
Community Walk. These education activities are
designed to provide life skills for children in a fun
and informative manner without the fear factor.
We encourage that a red flavour be incorporated in the
day – a colour which links Daniel’s story in a discrete
way to the importance of Child Safety Education.
Day for Daniel is not a memorial day – it is a
learning day for our Children.
Please support us in this initiative.
