Our Mission

Every year, thousands of children go missing. Their profiles quickly fade from the news and leads dry up. When the public stops looking, the chance of recovering a missing child decreases substantially. That’s why it’s our mission to keep their profiles in public view at no cost to families, engage youth and tell a story of hope to bring children home.

Message from our Founder

 

Hello and welcome to The Missing Child Project.

 

I started this effort years ago when I was a baseball pitcher in the minor leagues, throwing the ball as hard as I could and trying to work my way up through the Chicago Cubs’ farm system to Wrigley Field. One off-season, I watched a documentary about a mother’s and father’s effort to spread the word about their missing daughter. I realized the stadiums in which we played weren’t just filled with sports fans–these were the teachers, coaches, families, classmates, and friends of missing children that would readily join in the search if they could. That moment inspired me to start The BairFind Foundation, which has now become known as The Missing Child Project.

 

Since that day, we’ve partnered with Minor League Baseball to place photos of thousands of our nation’s missing kids in front of literally tens of millions of Americans in stadiums and arenas across the country at no cost to the families. We have recently expanded our program to include high school clubs, with our stadium signs placed in schools and students earning volunteer hours to join the search via social media and in their communities. Every glance at one of these photos is another opportunity for a child to be reunited with his or her family. Our success is measured by the countless stories of children that we’ve featured who have been safely located, and we’ve only just begun.

 

Thank you, it is a pleasure to have you visit our website – and we hope you’ll join us.

 

Sincerely,

Dennis J. Bair
