Partnering with Dylan's Legacy, we are thrilled to extend a warm invitation to you to join us at Crime Con Booth S12 for an engaging and crucial discussion about supporting families of missing persons.
At our booth, you'll have the opportunity to meet the dedicated team from Dylan's Legacy & Missing In America Network, who are committed to providing education, awareness, resources, and advocating for essential legislation to aid families facing the unimaginable ordeal of having a loved one go missing.
We believe that every missing person is more than just a statistic—they are someone's child, parent, sibling, or friend. Their absence leaves an indelible void in the lives of those who care for them. That's why we're passionate about coming together as a community to address this issue and provide support where it's needed most.
At our booth, you'll have the chance to:
•Learn about the work of Missing In America Network & Dylan's Legacy and how they're making a difference in the lives of families affected by missing persons cases.
•Participate in informative discussions about the challenges faced by families of missing persons and the various ways we can offer assistance, including education, awareness campaigns, and access to resources.
Together, we can make a meaningful impact and provide hope to those who are searching for answers. Your support and participation are invaluable as we strive to create a safer and more compassionate world for all.
Let's stand together and make a difference!
