John,
Brady’s End Family Fire program JUST launched a new video campaign in partnership with nationally acclaimed athletes.
“It’s time to start Gunboxing.” In a nod to the popular “unboxing” social media trend, six athletes, including two-time Super Bowl Champion and philanthropist Torrey Smith and Olympic biathlete Susan Dunklee, demonstrate how quick and easy it is to properly store guns in a lock box or safe at home.
The video campaign is intended to educate gun owners and the public about safe storage practices as a means to prevent family fire: A shooting caused by someone having access to a gun from the home when they shouldn’t have it. This includes children as well as individuals who are at risk of harming themselves or others.
Will you join us in watching and sharing this new video right now? [[link removed]]

We created “Gunboxing” in partnership with the award-winning ad agency OBERLAND to address the growing number of communities impacted by family fire. Already, more than 4.6 million children in America live in homes with access to an unsecured or unsupervised firearm. And with gun sales still at record levels and summer just around the corner, kids will be spending more time at home — so it's imperative that gun owners practice safe storage to protect their loved ones.
We know this resource will help save countless lives. According to an Ad Council study, more than half of gun owners or adults in gun-owning households who are aware of the End Family Fire campaign report that they have taken steps to store their firearms more safely. So, simply by sharing, you will help prevent family fire and save lives. [[link removed]]

Thank you,

#WearOrange and Recognize National Gun Violence Awareness Month
[link removed] [[link removed]]
June is National Gun Violence Awareness Month. In 2013, 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton was shot and killed in Chicago. Just one week earlier, Hadiya performed with her high school majorette squad at President Obama's second inaugural parade. This week, she should be celebrating her 26th birthday, but her life was cut short by gun violence.
In response to her death, Hadiya's friends asked others to wear orange to raise awareness about gun violence. Gun violence prevention advocates and organizations have taken up the color orange as the color of gun violence awareness and the first Friday in June is now considered National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
In honor of Hadiya and all those impacted by gun violence, will you join us in taking action right now? Visit our webpage to get involved in your community and find ways to recognize National Gun Violence Awareness Month! [[link removed]]

Get Ready for ASK Day!
[link removed] [[link removed]]
ASK (Asking Saves Kids) Day is June 21 — the first day of summer, marking a time when kids typically spend more time at the homes of friends and family. Parents ask all types of questions before their children visit other homes. ASK [[link removed]] Day is when we remind parents, guardians, and caretakers to add one more question, “Is there an unlocked gun in your home where my child will play?”
Every year thousands of kids are injured or killed as a result of family fire [[link removed]] . [[link removed]] That’s why we’re calling on supporters like you to recognize ASK Day by asking about safe gun storage in your community. Use our toolkit to find easy ways to start the conversation!
