Project Jason
Project Jason is pleased to announce its newest program, the Awareness Angels Network.
( More information can be found at http://www.projectjason.org/awareness.html )
Itʼs a fact that one in six missing persons are found as a result of a visual aid, such as a billboard or a poster, thus the importance of poster dissemination in missing person cases. Placing posters is an easy way for you to get involved, and it can make a real difference for the families of the missing.
With your Awareness Angels Network (AAN) membership, youʼll receive notifications via email about new missing person cases, updates on current cases, and recovered persons. These notifications inlcude a link to a special Awareness Angels Network poster you can print and place.
Once you are subscribed, the email notifications you receive include a link to the printable poster for a specific missing person, plus a link to Project Jasonʼs forum, where you can keep up on the latest case news and information.
We encourage you to:
*Print copies of this poster and display them near your home, at your workplace and in public places.
*Give copies of this poster to friends and associates who can place posters near their homes and workplaces.
*Give copies to friends or associates who travel so they can place the posters in more wide-reaching areas.
When the missing person is located, we will notify you. At that time, you will be asked to remove any indoor, outdoor and Internet postings of this person.
Email notifications will be sent to you upon the following events:
New Case: Project Jason receives a new case submission from the family of a missing person and completes the verification process. New cases are persons who may have been missing for any period of time and the family is registering with us for the first time.
Updated Case: This notification will be sent out upon any substantial change of information on the original Project Jason poster. This could include the addition of an age progression photo, or new information received that could aid in location of that missing person.
Annual Missing Date Notice: On or before the annual missing date of persons registered with Project Jason, an AAN notification will be sent out to remind the members that the person is still missing and to request poster placement.
Law Enforcement Request: This notification will be sent out upon the request of law enforcement who may seek a targeted distribution area. There may be evidence that the missing person may be in a region other than the one he/she disappeared from, and poster dissemination is needed in this area. Project Jason officials may also, at their discretion, and based upon reliable sources, request distribution in another area.
Location Notice: A person whose case was previously sent out on the AAN has been located alive. Any additional information that can be made public will be found on the link included in the notification.
Deceased Location Notice: A person whose case was previously sent out on the AAN has been found deceased. Any additional information that can be made public will be found on the link included in the notification.
Project Jason has divided the US into 14 geographical regions for this program. You may subscribe to as many regions as you wish. We encourage multiple region subscriptions since weʼre a very mobile society. It doesnʼt take long for a person to travel great distances. In some cases, a missing person may not necessarily be in the same area or location where he/she was last seen. Your notification emails will cover missing persons who were last seen in the region to which you subscribed.
Once you subscribe to a region, you will be offered a special widget which you may add to your website, blog, MySpace, Facebook, etc. The widget is our thank you for being an Awareness Angels Network member. It will also serve to encourage others to become members, as the widget links right to our site. The more helping eyes, ears, and hands we have, the greater the odds of success.
From now until about mid-September, the focus of the program will be outreach to gain subscribers. When we begin the email notifications, it is important to have a reasonable subscriber base. In mid-September, we will begin to send the notifications on a more regular basis.
We're asking interested persons to subscribe AND to send this message to others.
Remember the facts: One in every 6 are found because of visual means, such as a poster. You can make a difference with your Awareness Angels Network membership!
If you haven't subscribed yet, read what the families of the missing have to say about poster placement by our Awareness Angels Network members:
The totality of my life has only one purpose, to find my missing daughter and bring her home safe. Every other aspect of my life has come to a halt. Thank you very much for placing posters of my child.
Reza Jou, father of missing Donna Jou
My heart is lifted and hope shines every time someone displays a poster of my son. I believe it is through the love and kindness of the public that my son will eventually be found; but without their concern and active participation, I fear this agonizing mystery will continue to go unresolved. Please, please help me find my son.
Vicki Barnard, Mother of Missing Ahren Barnard
Each poster placed carries the hopes of our family, that someone, somewhere, knows something, and will step forward to shine light on the darkness of loss. So, from my heart I thank you for each poster hung, and for each prayer quietly spoken.
Christy Davis, mother of missing Michael "Austin" Davis
I want to thank each and every one of you who hangs a poster for my son, Brian. This is the only way that I may hopefully find him and bring him home so that I may have some peace in my life someday. Someone knows what happened, and only with your help can I keep my son alive in the publicʼs eyes.
Randy, Brian Shaffer's Dad
Time Marches on, yet it stands so still. Your smallest remembrance or recognition could help bring our loved one home. Thanks to all those who care.
Donajean Kapp, Sister of Dori A. Myers, Abducted 01-11-06
Words cannot express what it means when strangers care enough to place posters for us. The memory of this act is forever etched in our hearts.
John Lopez, Jeff and Lesa Stivers, Father, Uncle and Aunt of missing Marissa Lopez
(You'll be able to read more soon from the families we serve on the Awareness Angels Network page on our main website.)
Note to the families of the missing: If you submitted a quote, it will be used in various communication pieces about the Awareness Angels Network. We will get the rest of them on the AAN pages on our main site. If you did not submit one, and would like to, we'll be glad to place your quote on the webpage. We had so many beautiful quotes submitted that it was not possible to get them all on this notice.
You do not have to take any action to have your missing loved one on the AAN. We create the poster and send out the notifications. If, for any reason, you do not want your missing loved one on the program, please contact us. As always, when your missing loved one is located, be sure to contact us as soon as you can.
About the Awareness Angels Network logo you see at the top of the page:
The angel's wings represent the members of the Awareness Angels Network, who will answer our plea for help and place posters to help find a missing person. In this representation, the father was ready to go out and place more posters of his missing daughter, but just then, she was found and returned to his loving arms. The angel's wings surround them, also representing the love and concern we have in our hearts for others, even those whom we have never met. The logo tells the story of what CAN happen when we all work together to make a difference.
With your help, we'll have many happy endings.
