In addition to these partnerships the PCCPTA Board has been asked to provide a representative for many Pinellas County School committees.  Providing a voice for children as we advocate on these committees is a privilege.

All Children's Hospital / Florida Suncoast Safe Kids Coallition - The goal of the Florida Suncoast Safe Kids Coalition, sponsored by All Children's Hospital, is to fight the unintentional injury of children. Unintentional injury remains the leading cause of death among children in the United States. The Coalition addresses the greatest injury risk areas for children 0 - 14 years: motor vehicle injury, bicycle and pedestrian injury, drowning, and other injuries in the home, school and community. Each year, PCCPTA partners with Safe Kids for International Walk-to-School Day. www.allkids.org/safekids

All Pro Dad/iMom- This national program was started in the Tampa Bay area by Coach Tony Dungy. PCCPTA first partnered with Brian Davis the Area Director five years ago.  Since then, countless All Pro Dads groups have been started in Pinellas and there is now a partnership with the National PTA and All Pro Dad. iMom is a refreshing, inviting space for moms offering a wide variety of ideas, information and inspiration. www.allprodad.com

The Children’s Movement of Florida- Believes that the well-being and education of our children in Florida must be the highest priority of government, business, non-profit institutions and families. The economic future of our state and the stability of the communities we live in depend on achieving this goal. The major objective of the citizen-led, non-partisan Children’s Movement of Florida is to inform the political, business and civic leaders, and the parents and people of this state, about this issue and encourage them to make the well-being and education of our children our highest priority, including in the way we invest our public resources. www.childrensmovementflorida.org

Crime Stoppers - Campus Crime Stoppers is a non-profit school based program involving students, school administration and School Resource Officers (SRO) in the fight against crime. Campus Crime Stoppers allows students to report crime occurring on their school campus or in the community by calling a 24 hour anonymous Tip Line, reporting online or using a cell phone, text keyword TIP144 plus the tip information to C R I M E S (274637). The information is then forwarded to the SRO for investigation and/or action by the school administration.  We are assisting Crime Stoppers in setting up programs at our local schools.
