Miracle Recreation Equipment Company Partners With National Center for Missing
& Exploited Children to Promote Child Safety



MONETT, Mo., Oct. 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Miracle Recreation Equipment Company
proudly announced today they have become a corporate sponsor of The National
Center for Missing & Exploited Children® (NCMEC).  They have pledged to donate
more than $250,000 to NCMEC over the next three years, and to help cover
lodging costs necessary to reunite family members upon the recovery of missing
children.

The money will be used to support NCMEC's mission of finding missing children,
preventing child abduction and sexual exploitation, and serving child victims
and their families.  It will also support NCMEC's prevention education efforts
targeted at providing resources and information for families to help keep
their children safer.  As part of the partnership, NCMEC will develop child
safety tips for playgrounds and parks.    

According to Mike Sutton, who is the Director of Sales at Miracle and a former
law enforcement officer, security on our playgrounds has not been addressed
appropriately by playground equipment manufacturers. "In today's world, we as
a society must all look out for the safety and security of our children."  

Miracle's donation will be funded by the sale of playgrounds incorporating
Miracle's new patent pending MiracleTech® integrated security product line. 
The MiracleTech® product line includes the ParkWatch® infrared security camera
to digitally record events and to help deter inappropriate activity,
SiteBrite®  low voltage lighting, and the SonicScreen® patented sound
technology, which is designed to help deter vandalism after hours.    

"It is with the generous support of partners like Miracle that we are able to
continue our work and help make children safer and better prepared for the
risks that they face in today's world," said Ernie Allen, NCMEC president and
CEO.  "Together we can provide families with the tools and resources that can
help make our communities safer, something that is important to both of our
organizations."
