Free Child ID at Gorgas Park

Please come to Gorgas Park (www.GorgasPark.com) at 6300 Ridge Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19128 on Saturday, August 3rd from 10:00 AM until Noon.  We will be sponsoring a FREE Child ID safety event provided by New York Life Insurance. Child IDs are created using the EZ Child I.D. System, the nation’s most comprehensive digital fingerprinting child identification system.Created with help from the National CHIP foundation and law enforcement officials, this system ensures that the digital fingerprints meet industry standards by capturing all vital information required by the Amber Alert system.How long does the process take? In only 5 to 8 minutes, a Child ID CD is created for each parent or guardian free of charge, featuring a child’s photo, fingerprints, contact information and other pertinent information needed by the police in case of an emergency.No Child Information is retained. Please note that children must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian and that No child’s information or pictures are retained.  All data is automatically erased upon printing the Child ID.Please Call or Email Rob Kreider if you would like us to support your future events at 215-441-6288  /  rjkreider@ft.newyorklife.com.
