1-800-CAR-HELP Announces the Formation of the
Code Amber Alert Foundation

April  2003  - "1.800.CAR.HELP Inc. is aware that when a family is focusing all of its time and resources on dealing with a missing child, they can also suffer from great financial stress.
Therefore… we are establishing a trust account to give financial help to the families of Amber Alert victims during their time of need," said Larry Peterson, Founder and CEO of CarHelp.

The Foundation will be completely funded by 1.800.CAR.HELP through the setting aside of a portion of revenues. Applications for assistance and distribution of funds will be managed by a Board of Directors, which will be made up of company officers and selected outside Directors including Bryant Harper, Founder of CodeAmber.org.

"We have also programmed our phone system so anyone can report an Amber Alert sightings or confirm suspect and victim information by simply pressing the
 * key after dialing 1 800-CAR-HELP"

"Calls are immediately forwarded to the office of Code Amber for action. CodeAmber.org operates the only nationwide Amber Alert distribution system at this time so they are prepared to respond to inquiries on all active Amber Alerts," Mr. Peterson continued.
"With the support of 1.800.CAR.HELP, we will now be able to provide timely information on active Amber Alerts to anyone who dials the easy to remember toll free number. We expect to receive calls from motorists who may not remember the exact license number or other details regarding a victim or suspected abductor. A call to Code Amber can verify these details and refer appropriate reports directly to Law Enforcement in the area.

This service provides an invaluable resource for the recovery of abducted children and establishing the Code Amber Alert Foundation helping the families of those kids is a wonderful act of generosity and support," said Bryant Harper, Founder of CodeAmber.org.
1.800.CAR.HELP is a "shared use" automated phone service that provides a direct connection for people in need of CarHelp to a selected and qualified type of automotive business.

The 1-800-CAR-HELP phone number is designed to become the 911 of the automotive industry so people can quickly and easily find what they need, when they need it, from home or with their cell phone while traveling.
