Among the many guests in attendance to show their support for the good cause were several celebrities including actor John O'Hurley, actor Billy Hufsey from the 1980's TV series Fame and the daytime drama, Days of Our Lives (1987-1991), and British born rocker John Payne (lead singer and bassist of Asia). Also on hand was John Arnos, a consultant for Canon USA, whose technologies and products have been implemented to protect children. The Canon4Kids program, a partnership between Canon USA and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children, has donated thousands of digital cameras, fax machines, printers and scanners to help law enforcement agencies and the center quickly disseminate photos and information about missing children, produces PSAs with missing children’s photos and educates parents about tips for taking and maintaining updated photos of their children.
