This is the first-ever comprehensive pre-kindergarten through grade 12 program school-based prevention and personal safety curriculum. The funds were used to research best practices, consult with career educators, administrators, mental health professionals, and developmental psychologists to develop educationally sound, research-based materials aligned to Florida state education standards. Funds were also used to produce animated videos and digital curriculum modules for children, parents and educators. 1437207 30025 177331 The organization developed an educational brochure regarding protecting children against sexual abuse that is included in 8-10 million vehicle registration renewals. Since 95% of childhood sexual abuse is preventable through education and awareness, the goal is to reach as many individuals with direct messaging as possible. The program that allows Lauren's Kids to provide an educational insert in motor vehicle registration renewal notices assures that over 8 million individuals will read the material this year. In December of each year a targeted program occurs in driver's license renewal offices where close to 500,000 individuals are provided with educational materials on how to better protect our children from predators and pedophiles. The organization wrote books entitled "It's Ok to Tell and "Lauren's Kids" which is intended to educate people about abuse. In addition the organization incurs expenses in delivering education materials and class work on the subject of abuse. 17902 In honor of National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month, the Lauren's Kids Foundation announced the return of 'Walk in My Shoes; a 1,500-mile trek across Florida to raise awareness, educate communities, and empower survivors of child sexual abuse. The statewide awareness walk began on April 3, 2024, at the Southernmost Point of the U.S. in Key West and ended in Panama City on April 27th, with over 20 stops along the way in partnership with Florida's sexual assault treatment centers, children's advocacy centers, child protection units, Bikers Against Child Abuse, local schools, and more. Walk in My Shoes began in 2010 as a way for Senator Lauren Book, Founder and CEO of Lauren's Kids, to navigate through her own healing journey - walking from the home in which she was abused more than 500 miles to the steps of the Historic Florida Capitol. Over the next eight years, Lauren's annual trek grew to include thousands of participants walking statewide to raise awareness about child sexual abuse and honor the 42 million survivors living in the U.S. today. "We're so excited to bring the Walk in My Shoes back to Florida's highways and byways - walking 1,500 miles across the state to shine a light, shatter the stigma, and educate communities to keep kids safe," says Senator Lauren Book. "One in 3 girls and 1 in 5 boys will suffer sexual abuse before graduating high school - and 1 in 5 children who touch a digital device will be sexually solicited online. The statistics are staggering, but the solution is clear: 95% of child sexual abuse is preventable with education and awareness. That's why we walk." Child sexual abuse is a silent epidemic happening in every single zip code across Florida and the United States is one of the most under-reported victim crimes. Local sexual assault treatment centers and children's advocacy centers often have waiting lists for survivors seeking services. The Walk in My Shoes aims to help shine a light on the important work being done at these local centers, while educating communities about prevention. The Walk also includes stops in classrooms across the state for Lauren, a former classroom educator, to teach lessons from the foundation's EMMY Award-winning Safer, Smarter Kids and Safer, Smarter Teens personal safety and abuse prevention curriculum programs - currently being used to educate millions of students across the country each year. Thank you to everyone who joined us on the road in April 2024 during National Sexual Assault Awareness Month and Child Abuse Prevention Month for our Walk in My Shoes 1,500-mile trek across Florida! Whether you joined us for a block, a mile, or more, every step counts in the fight to prevent child sexual abuse and help survivors heal. 2241818 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 34 0 1 2 1 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 10 10 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 FL X Ronald L Book 7862885045 4000 Hollywood Blvd 677-S Hollywood FL 33021 Ronald L Book Chairman 15.00 X X 0 0 0 Beth Rosenstein Vice President 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Rochelle S Matza Treasurer 2.00 X X 0 0 0 Keith Kenner Secretary 1.00 X X 0 0 0 Stanford Blake Board Member 0.20 X 0 0 0 Bruno Dede Board Member 0.20 X 0 0 0 Charles Fernandes Board Member 0.20 X 0 0 0 Manny Kadre Board Member 0.20 X 0 0 0 Randal Perkins Board Member 0.20 X 0 0 0 Diane Philbin Board Member 0.20 X 0 0 0 Lauren F Book Founder and CEO 40.00 X 262500 0 0 Maraleen Browne Executive Director 40.00 X 103500 0 0 366000 0 0 2 0 1 0 Armada Content LLC 915 Twin Elms Court Nashville TN 37210 Media Content 875000 CVS Comms LLC 1111 NE 16th Terr Unit 2 Ft Lauderdale FL 33304 Educational Editing 159665 Instructure Inc PO Box 7410958 Chicago IL 606740958 Education Technology 132283 Smart Source of Georgia LLC 7270 McGinnis Ferry Rd Suwane GA 30024 Media Content 114556 4 192971 1803000 645025 2640996 Curriculum Sales 711510 148978 148978 Recycling Service 711510 28353 28353 177331 135597 135597 258788 263185 -4397 -4397 -4397 636921 192971 506516 130405 130405 3079932 177331 0 261605 30025 30025 511884 97443 341512 72929 15421 15421 33353 7139 6610 19604 1470 1470 33940 6864 27076 31314 31314 24814 24814 155727 143922 10306 1499 45138 9662 8946 26530 74303 73944 299 60 9078 3953 1292 3833 Program Services 1833004 1812919 19550 535 Credit Card Processing 12815 1496 11319 Supplies and Materials 12746 12746 2825032 2241818 446905 136309 3347932 3395015 1177571 477251 44421 58173 15051 15051 0 0 2369943 3806574 6939867 7737013 50034 265320 38866 0 88900 265320 X 6850967 7471693 6850967 7471693 6939867 7737013 254900 365827 0 X X 0 1 X 1 0 X 1985278 2964779 2783303 5400294 2640996 15774650 1985278 2964779 2783303 5400294 2640996 15774650 15774650 2788 1979 5883 40216 131200 182066 315054 86789 -93707 129743 130405 568284 16525000 1380860 0.95460 0.96300 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 15051 15051 0 0 Investment in Wells Fargo Brokerage 2816502 C Investment in UBS Financial Services 990072 C 3806574 X 4474539 365827 553577 919404 3555135 31314 -506516 -475202 3079933 3853813 553577 506517 1060094 2793719 31314 31314 2825033 Part X, Line 2: The organization is exempt from federal taxes under section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and similar Florida statutes.
