We, with Missouri Missing, recently had the pleasure of working with Media For the Missing on an awareness event, Missouri Missing and Unidentified Person's Awareness day, as proclaimed by Missouri Governor, Jay Nixon. I, a co-founder, of Missouri Missing, knew I needed some help in putting this big event together. I recalled meeting Stephanie Coplen several times in the past with various missing person's gatherings and was very impressed with her and her organization. I reached out to her for help. She went beyond helping me, in several ways, including getting the word out far and wide. Media For the Missing is a vastly important organization to especially, the families with a missing loved one. I am excited to know there is a much needed organization such as this, as mother of a missing daughter and a missing person's advocate. It has been a long time coming.

Nonprofit Overview
Mission: Our mission is to ensure increased exposure for ALL missing persons through a multi-viewable awareness system. This system will help prevent missing persons from fading into the shadows of the past by keeping them continuously in the present through a Nationwide Missing Person's Awareness System of approx. 9,000 visual displays (5yr plan) for immediate alerts, missing and unidentified person's information in designated locations to provide the public with many viewing opportunities. This system is designed to work with entities of those missing by providing them multi-visual methods for public viewing purposes. They provide the info and we will provide the visual methods for them. To ensure 100% accuracy, information is received and displayed unedited to keep the public continuously informed thru increased exposure for ALL missing persons. Please view our website to view how the system will operate and the logic for chosen locations.
Results: We are new and in the beginning stages of obtaining national support, have begun attending events to start implementing the video taping program. Until we are able to build our operation headquarters to implement the system, we are helping with awareness and adding exposure for those missing in every way we can, even through directing inquires to the proper organizational resources for requested needs.
