PR NewsChannel) / September 16, 2008 / Scottsdale, Ariz. / The Childhelp® National Child Abuse Hotline, 1-800-4-A-CHILD®, has garnered a generous sponsorship of $250,000 from Chandler-based Isagenix®.

The year-long principal sponsorship by Isagenix, from August ’08 to August ’09, will help Childhelp® expand the number of professional crisis counselors manning the international hotline and maintain the system. The Hotline receives no government funding and is completely supported by generous donations from various organizations, entities and foundations.

The sponsorship by Isagenix is representative of the company’s active and charitable involvement with Childhelp® over the past four years. To date, Isagenix and its employees and Associates have donated nearly $1 million to various Childhelp® programs and services. 

“Isagenix is committed to building stronger communities through our philanthropic partnership with Childhelp® and is honored to aid them in their mission with the generous support of our employees, customers and Associates,” said Isagenix Co-Founders Jim and Kathy Coover. “The hotline is critical in providing inspiration, hope and support for those in need and is helping to save lives.”

The Childhelp® National Child Abuse Hotline has received more than two million calls since it first began service in 1982. These calls come from children at risk for abuse, distressed parents seeking crisis intervention and concerned individuals who suspect that child abuse may be occurring. The Hotline is also a valuable resource for those who are mandated by law to report suspected abuse, such as school personnel, medical and mental health professionals and police and fire investigators. The Hotline offers crisis intervention, information, literature, and referrals to thousands of emergency, social service, and support resources. All calls are anonymous and confidential.
 
“We are proud and honored to partner with Isagenix for their year-long sponsorship of our Childhelp National Child Abuse Hotline which serves children across America, Canada, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Puerto Rico and Guam,” said Childhelp Co-Founder and CEO Sara O’Meara.  “Through the generosity of everyone at Isagenix, so many more children and their families in need will have the opportunity to receive immediate safety and care.”

“Isagenix has been involved with Childhelp for several years, and their unwavering support has contributed to Childhelp offering many more children protection and healing of their bodies, minds and spirits,” said Childhelp Co-Founder and President Yvonne Fedderson. “We are so grateful to Isagenix for this dynamic and benevolent partnership with Childhelp.”

Isagenix offers targeted and complete systems that make it convenient for people to achieve safe, lasting weight loss and long-term wellness. The systems focus on Nutritional Cleansing, a process that improves on the ancient health practice of fasting by feeding the body with nutrients to assist in its natural ability to remove toxins and impurities. Isagenix systems combine cleansing with a low-calorie meal regimen and infusion of essential nutrients for a total health and wellness approach.
