SURFERQUEST, SUPPLIER OF PUBLIC INTERNET KIOSK SYSTEMS, WILL BE
DISPLAYING MISSING CHILD PHOTOS ON THEIR DIGITAL MEDIA NETWORK IN
COOPERATION WITH THE NATIONAL CENTER FOR MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN

PHILIPSBURG, PA - July 26, 2005 — SurferQuest, a supplier of public
Internet kiosk systems, has partnered with the National Center for
Missing & Exploited Children(R) (NCMEC) to introduce photos of missing
children into the SurferQuest Kiosks.
With close to one thousand Internet Kiosks nationwide, SuferQuest
places its kiosks in high-traffic public areas, such as hotels,
resorts, rest areas and Internet cafes.
"More than 100,000 people pass by our kiosks every day. We believe
that running these photos can greatly increase the likelihood that a
child will be recognized and reunited with their family," said Ron
Koning, Vice-President of SurferQuest.
The missing child photos will rotate on the monitors when the kiosks
are not occupied, and capture the attention of the passing audience.
When the computer is in use, the system will show missing children on
the desktop using NCMEC's Java Banner Link. The SurferQuest pay-per-
use system will allow free access to report a sighting as well as to
learn more details about a particular missing child.
"These photos have remarkable power. In fact, one in six missing
children featured in our photo distribution program is recovered as a
direct result of someone recognizing their photo and contacting
authorities," said Ernie Allen, President and CEO of NCMEC. "We are
happy to partner with SurferQuest in the fight to bring more missing
children home and reunite more families."
The Digital Media Network is able to target the Kiosks individually,
regionally, and nationally, and was originally programmed to show
advertising.
"Showing the photos of missing children is a perfect example of how we
can use an existing vehicle for a new purpose that will benefit
American communities, and families and children in particular," said
Koning.
