Every 40 seconds, a child in this country goes missing.
We at the Tommy Foundation feel that one child missing is one child too many.
Through donations, the Tommy Foundation (a 501(3)C Non Profit Organization) addresses the issues of missing children by:
The foundation is a member of the Association for Missing and Exploited Children Organizations, a project under the Office of Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention. Tom and Vicki Kelly, and their daughter Dannielle, have received training, through TeamHOPE/National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, to be support to families of missing children.
In 2004, the Tommy Foundation drafted the Proclamation that was signed by Oregon Governor Kulongoski, declaring May 25th, National Missing Children Day, as Oregon's Missing Children Day.
The Kelly family advocated for legislation in the State of Oregon. The Tommy Law was signed into law May 25, 2001, National Missing Children Day The Tommy Law allows for education of law enforcement officials on the correct and most efficient way to respond to the report of a missing child. The hope now is that every state will pass similar legislation. Every 40 seconds a child is reported missing.
