"Hi!
My name is
Red. E. Fox.
My middle initial
E. stands for emergency.
I teach children how
to be
9-1-1 Heroes." |

The Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders give Red E. Fox a "cheer"
as he informs
youngsters
about the 9-1-1 program ... |

The North Central Texas Council of Governments' 9-1-1 Program, in
conjunction with the Texas Commission on State Emergency Communications, provides a
comprehensive 9-1-1 educational program for children between the ages of 4 and 7.
The "star of the show" is Red. E. Fox.
Red. E. Fox appears in an 18 minute video called "The Great
9-1-1 Adventure." It is available in English and Spanish. Accompanying
the video is a classroom kit that reinforces the information in the video. The kit
includes a poster, stickers, English/Spanish activity pages and English/Spanish emergency
phone cards for home use. The video and kit have been distributed to classrooms and
day care centers throughout our 13 county service area.
In addition to the video and classroom kit, Red E. Fox
promotional items include a beanie doll, book covers, trading cards, stickers, and
pencils. A Red. E. Fox costume is also available for use at school events and public
gatherings.

| NCTCOG’s 9-1-1 Program
Receives
Three Awards of Excellence
The North Central Texas Council of Governments' 9-1-1 Program recently received
three
awards for the Red E. Fox Campaign. Red E. Fox is the national 9-1-1 mascot that is used
to teach children when and how to call 9-1-1. 2000 Awards of Excellence
were presented to
9-1-1 Program Manager, Christy Williams, from the Dallas and Ft. Worth Chapters of IABC (International
Association of Business Communicators). Another 2000 Award of Excellence was received from
the DALTON Pen Communications Award Program.
Each year the Dallas Chapter of IABC recognizes the winners of the
Bronze Quill Awards. The Bronze Quill Award was created to
recognize the finest work produced each year by business communicators
throughout the Dallas area. The winning entry was an external campaign
created by Christy Williams who worked with Kristy Keener, one of NCTCOG’s
graphic artists, to create the Red E. Fox campaign. The campaign
featured the 9-1-1 mascot on trading cards, billboards, book covers,
stickers, pencils, and as a beanie doll.
The Ft. Worth IABC also presented NCTCOG with an Award of Excellence
for the 9-1-1 Celebrity Campaign.
The DALTON Pen Communications Award Program honors communicators whose projects and
programs are exemplary. The same Red E. Fox Campaign that won the IABC awards
was entered
in the "public service campaigns" category for the DALTON Pen Award. |
