SAFETY Bandana-Guides
Community Safety Initiative
The Community Safety Initiative is a structured, community-based educational program featuring twelve SAFETY Bandana-Guides covering personal safety, home safety, first-aid, emergency preparedness, health awareness, faith support and other topics.
The program directs a portion of all sales into a locally administered Community Emergency Fund to assist residents during verified emergencies.
The Initiative is educational, non-political, non-partisan, and non-profit in structure (the Community Fund), and everything is managed online, is completely transparent.
Every community's Emergency Fund is overseen by three to five respected local citizens who determine qualifying emergencies.

How It Works
We request that “Community Partners” agree to participate—Chamber of Commerce, Police/Fire/EMTs, Schools, CTSOs, Community Organizations i.e. Rotary, Kiwanis, Lions, Etc., Churches, Local TV, Radio, Newspapers, and whomever else wishes to join.
A unique Community SAFETY Code is created.
“Community Partners” announce to their communities the SAFETY Initiative, and distribute the SAFETY Code to the community residents utilizing any and all means available to them.
We provide Announcement letter templates, Press Releases, Signs, and other documents that can be downloaded here on our site and used as is or edited as desired.
-
SAFETY Bandana-Guides are ordered online using the Community SAFETY Code.
-
A percentage of each sale goes directly into that Community’s Emergency Fund.
-
Fund decisions are made locally by a citizen board of three to five members.
-
Your Community’s Emergency Fund is established at the local bank of your choice.
There are no inventory requirements, no cash handling. Everything is fully managed online.
Why It Works
• SAFETY Bandana-Guides are practical tools people actually use
• The Initiative has multi-sector appeal (families, schools, businesses, churches)
• There is transparent financial reporting
• The Initiative has Community Impact
The time it takes you to read this is more time than it will take for you to implement your Community SAFETY Initiative, and it will cost you absolutely nothing! In fact, by participating, the probability of raising thousands if not tens of thousands of dollars for your Community is very real!
My name is Jeff Shannon, and I’m writing here to introduce an innovative and educational opportunity to support SAFETY EDUCATION in your Community, in the Schools in your District, and in other Groups in your Community through a meaningful and health-focused Community SAFETY Initiative.
Through this Initiative, communities are helping to protect our families and communities from all manner of hazards, from Food-Poisoning, to Electrical Fires in your homes, to Personal and Property Intrusions, and more. And, all the while communities are educating on SAFETY, they are also building Community Emergency Funds.
SAFETY Bandana-Guides are beautiful, top quality, 100% cotton, made in the USA Bandanas with Everything that Everyone NEEDS to know about Safety printed on them. When SAFETY Bandana-Guides are present in a home or business, they combine accessibility, utility, and public health and safety education in one simple product.
We believe this Initiative can be a great fit for your Community, your Help Organizations, your Schools, CTSOs, Police/Fire/EMT Departments, and other Community Groups, and here’s why:
-
Educational Value: Each and every SAFETY Bandana-Guide includes easy-to-understand, evidence-based safety information, making each one a great tool for both children and adults.
-
Health & Wellness & Safety Focus: Supports family and community health and safety—an especially important mission today.
-
High Profit Potential: You might say there is a 100% return on your investment, because there is NO investment on your part, and the funds raised could potentially reach into the tens of thousands of dollars for your resident emergencies.
-
Simple & Flexible: We provide everything you need to run your SAFETY Initiative with very little time and effort necessary.
The SAFETY Bandana-Guides have been positively received by parents, educators, law enforcement, and other professionals for their simplicity, usefulness, and educational impact. They're a great conversation starter at home and a practical way to promote safe habits to children.
Not only will families buy SAFETY Bandana-Guides for their own homes, but they will also buy them to give as gifts to their friends and distant family members, thus creating a multi-sale-per-person opportunity that raises even more money for community emergency needs.
