Los Angeles, CA, December
1, 2014—John
Paul DeJoria, well-known for John Paul Mitchell Hair Care, Patron Tequila, and
the recently-launched ROK Mobile, together with Safer Schools for America
(SSFA), announced today that they will donate a Bullet Resistant School
Protection System to Valley Vista High School in Fountain Valley, California on
December 12, 2014.
The
unfortunate truth is that shootings on school grounds are on the rise. Building
on the initiative’s collaborative framework, John Paul, through the ROK Mobile
RAMP program and SSFA mission, will bring together students, parents,
educators, PTAs, and local law enforcement to educate them on the practicality
and affordability of the bullet resistant system. While violence cannot be
fully stopped, these two parties are joining forces to try to reduce the risks
and protect our children and teachers from injury. John Paul and SSFA believe
that parents have the right to know that these systems are readily available
and easy to install. Similar to how Airlines protect their pilots by using
bulletproof doors, The Bullet Resistant System will work as the first barrier
to keeping kids, faculty, and staff safe.
“We embrace the opportunity to provide violence prevention and school
safety resources to our community’s schools and families. It is vital we work
together as a community to keep our children safe.” John Paul DeJoria, Co-Founder,
ROK Mobile.
ROK
Mobile, an innovative, telecommunications and music
streaming company will
be working with PTA’s along with SSFA on a nationwide fundraiser program. These
fundraisers will enable patrons from the enrolled schools that purchase the ROK
Mobile service to contribute $24/year per phone activation. The fundraising
monies will be allocated directly to school districts for security needs, such
as increased school ground security, security technology, etc. Safer Schools for America will match dollar
for dollar all funds acquired through the fund raising activities with
certified Bullet Resistant Security Products. John Paul's hope is to create
a groundbreaking fundraising program, addressing children’s safety by raising
funds with something that has become essential to everyday life, the mobile
phone.
