PhoneGuard Announces Continued Support for the National Day of Awareness Against Texting & Driving

Marketwired
PhoneGuard, Inc., a subsidiary of Options Media Group Holdings,
Inc. (OTCQB: OPMG) (PINKSHEETS: OPMG), a leading provider of mobile
applications software, announced their continued support for the
National Day of Awareness (NDA) Against Texting & Driving
campaign amid the recent announcement by the festival's producers
that the Rock 2 Live music festival
, which
was scheduled for this Saturday, April 28th at Florida Atlantic
University's new stadium in Boca Raton, Florida will be postponed
until fall 2012.
BUILDING ON MOMENTUM
As this national phenomenon built up steam, it was decided that
the National Day of Awareness event would be marked with a music
festival that would provide the attraction for a national
fundraiser to benefit education and responsible texting
organizations. Pioneering the concept of selling "e-tickets" to the
concert event, which provide access to an interactive streaming
experience, PhoneGuard oversaw the development of the fundraising
system, identifying the concept as a new addition to their business
model.
Outreach for the fundraiser and the NDA reached large national
and international audiences. The movement received the assistance
of the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB), the National
Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA), Channel One, Clear
Channel Radio, School Newspapers Online, Spanish River High School
and the Palm Beach County Board of Education. In all, over 10,000
schools and over 20 million students and parents were introduced to
the NDA message of responsible texting and driving.
PhoneGuard anticipates that there will be an even greater
opportunity to mobilize these supporting groups as schools enter
their fundraising season for the 2012-2013 academic years.
Additionally, we have developed a much broader coalition of
sponsors that may lead to diverse domestic and international
marketing opportunities for the Company's products.
CONTINUED SUPPORT AND CAUSE LEADERSHIP
PhoneGuard is making a huge social statement of their philosophy
and corporate responsibility to impact the cause. On the NDA,
PhoneGuard will offer free downloads of their app, which includes
disabling texting and Internet access for a driver of a vehicle
exceeding 10 mph with a personal security suite including a panic
button. Keith St. Clair, Chairman of PhoneGuard, stated,
"PhoneGuard is delighted to be a part of the National Day of
Awareness and is pleased to announce that every student and parent
nationwide will have access to download the PhoneGuard app free
until May 13th. We can't think of a better gift for Moms across the
country this Mother's Day." St. Clair added, "Either we do what is
right, or we sit on the sidelines. We have chosen to stand with
these students, and save the lives of our children, parents and
peers."
Additional information about the free PhoneGuard Premium
download will be available on the company's website, starting on
April 25th.
