BID NOW in PACT's celebrity art auction! |

PACT is marking International Missing Children's Day 2010 with a "balloon launch" like none you've ever seen! Balloons are the official symbols of International Missing Children's Day. Countries around the world have released balloons for years on this day to commemorate all the children still missing and to celebrate those who've been safely returned home. This year, PACT has a slightly different balloon launch in mind; Evan Cheng, head illustrator for Sesame Street, has designed a balloon card for us to send to celebrities worldwide as an inspirational canvas. We've invited them to make their creative marks on our balloons in any way they choose. On International Missing Children's Day, 25 May, we will launch PACT with STARS, a combined live and eBay auction of these unique works of art from some of the most well-known names in the world.
Join us.
Be a part of PACT with STARS by bidding until June 5th on fantastic artwork by your favorite celebrities. Or get them all; buy our beautiful commemorative coffee-table book of the full collection on eBay. All proceeds will go toward our fight to find missing children and bring them home.
About International Missing Children's Day:
Missing Children's Day began in the USA following the disappearance of 6-year-old Etan Patz on May 25th, 1979. Etan was last seen on a street corner in New York on his way to school; his disappearance sparked a national media firestorm storm. Four years later, President Ronald Reagan declared the 25th of May to be National Missing Children's Day. Since then it has been commemorated every year in the United States.
In the last decade, countries around the world have joined the United States’ effort to focus public attention and resources on this growing problem, and 25 May is now recognised as International Missing Children’s Day. It is a day on which to remember the many thousands of children who go missing or are abducted every year; a day to send a message of hope and solidarity to their grieving families; and a day to celebrate those children around the world who have been found and safely returned home.
