ISC West has announced a partnership with Mission 500ISC West, the United States' largest physical and electronic security event, is proud to announce its partnership with Mission 500.  Mission 500 is a non-profit organisation that serves the needs of children and communities in crisis-the security industry's response to children in need.

With strong relationships throughout the security industry, Mission 500's goal is to leverage those relationships to ultimately reach their goal of sponsoring 500 children in the World Vision program.  ISC West is excited to support this cause and to help provide food, clothing and education to underprivileged children.

"The ISC events' support of Mission 500 allows us an opportunity to give back to those in need," said Ed Nichols, Industry Vice President of the ISC portfolio of events.  "We are proud to support such a well-respected organisation changing the lives of children in need around the world."

ISC West and Mission 500 have additionally organised a sweepstakes to support this cause in an extraordinary way.  The sweepstakes features three grand prizes consisting of a trip to New York City, a 42" Panasonic Plasma TV, and a Bosch® Power Box. 

Look out for Mission 500 signs at ISC West April 2-4, 2008 in Las Vegas to obtain a free sweepstakes entry or to make a much-appreciated donation.  One hundred percent of the funds raised are channelled directly to World Vision.  Continued thanks go to all of the programme supporters.
