Ryland Homes to Host DNA LifePrint Child Safety Event July 30 at Pine Ridge in Middleburg

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. --- Ryland Homes is sponsoring a DNA LifePrint Child Safety Event July 30 at its Pine Ridge community in Middleburg.

David Baselice, division president for Ryland Homes in the Jacksonville region, said the event which is being provided by Ryland and Pine Ridge as a donation to the community, is free and open to the public.

“The DNA LifePrint Child Safety Event will provide parents with all the tools they need in the event the worst happens,” Baselice said. “The program, which is endorsed by John Walsh, America’s longtime trusted name in crime fighting, uses the latest technology available today for obtaining fingerprints – Biometrics.”

Parents who bring their children to the DNA LifePrint Child Safety Event will receive free an FBI-certified Biometric 10-digit fingerprint profile, a Home DNA Identification Kit, a high resolution full color digital photograph of the child and a Child Safety Journal, which will provide law enforcement officials all the necessary vital information should the child be reported missing.

No records are kept of the event, Baselice said. “No one will be collecting a data base. The only materials produced at the event are given to the parents,” Baselice said.

Ryland’s Pine Ridge DNA LifePrint Child Safety Event is scheduled from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 4735 Pine Lake Drive, Middleburg, FL 32068. For more information, contact Sue Magee 904-282-0092
