Crime Stoppers of Houston to launch campaign to reach 1 million children at $1 per child
Summary
Rania Mancarious, CEO of Crime Stoppers of Houston, told ministers the organization will launch a one‑year campaign to reach 1,000,000 children for safety education at a cost of $1 per child and reported an initial $500,000 seed commitment.
Rania Mancarious, introduced from the podium as the CEO of Crime Stoppers of Houston, told the ministerial breakfast that the organization will launch a campaign next year to "reach 1,000,000 children for safety in a span of 1 year at the cost of $1 a child." She said a founder committed $500,000 as an initial match and Crime Stoppers had raised the remaining funds two weeks earlier to meet the seed goal.
Mancarious described Crime Stoppers’ work in schools and communities and invited clergy to partner on outreach. She said the organization runs a tip line and programs in thousands of schools and hopes churches will help distribute safety information and connect children with resources.
Her remarks focused on prevention and education rather than enforcement. She framed the campaign as an achievable, low‑cost outreach effort and urged faith leaders to join the initiative to expand reach into neighborhoods and youth programs.
Councilman Davis and other speakers connected the campaign to the advisory board’s broader public‑safety aims. The announcement did not include a detailed budget breakdown or an operational schedule beyond the one‑year target; Mancarious said Crime Stoppers would follow up with partners about program rollout and church involvement.
