Who: Vanished Children's Alliance
Why are they special? Educated so kids didn't disappear, helped families of those who did, assisted in finding. Claimed that 90% of the 30,000+ cases they helped with were found. If true, they were extraordinarily successful.
After 28 years, this charity closed its doors in 2009, unable to survive the recession.
According to Wikipeida, "It was the oldest organization devoted to missing children in the United States and was recognized by the U.S. Department of Justice and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children."
So a big thank you for all those years of hard work. Sorry to see you go.
