Foundation Partners With Creative Placard Ads To Launch �Sitting With An Angel� Campaign

Richwoods, MO � July 10th, 2003 � The Shawn Hornbeck Foundation today announced a strategic partnership with Creative Placard Ads and the launch of their �Sitting With An Angel� campaign.� Together the partnership will place benches featuring the photo and information about a missing child at area grocery stores throughout Missouri and Illinois.

�We are extremely pleased to be partnering with Creative Placard Ads in this campaign, and feel honored to have been chosen to participate in this program� said Craig Akers, Executive Director of The Shawn Hornbeck Foundation.� The program will feature a different missing child on each bench, with the first bench being dedicated to Heather Kullorn, missing from St. Louis, Missouri for nearly 4 years.� Heather�s bench will be dedicated in a ceremony at 1:00PM on Sunday, July 13, 2003, just 2 days before the anniversary of her disappearance.� The dedication ceremony will take place at the Buy-Rite IGA, 1 Wharf Street, Lake Saint Louis, MO 63367.� The public and media are invited to attend.

Other missing children selected to appear on �Sitting With An Angel� benches this month include Shawn Hornbeck, missing from Richwoods, Missouri for over 9 months, and Christian Ferguson, missing from St. Louis, Missouri for nearly a month.� The benches are to be placed in Fenton and Maryland Heights, Missouri.
