The AmberWatch Foundation has announced Access Hollywood's Nancy O'Dell and Tony Potts as Co-Chairs of the AmberWatch Foundation. "We're thrilled that Nancy O'Dell and Tony Potts are taking a stand and joining us in our mission to prevent child abduction and sexual abuse through education and tools," says AmberWatch Foundation chairman and CEO, Keith Jarrett. "I can't think of a better way to use your well-respected voice than to speak out for an important cause. And the safety of our nation's children is the most important cause there is."

At the heart of the AmberWatch Foundation's mission is the "Be Safe!" Program, which is presented to children (and their parents) to teach them how to prevent abduction and abuse. The "Be Safe!" Program is free to schools and communities committed to protecting their children from such perils. As co-chairpersons of the AmberWatch Foundation, O'Dell and Potts will serve as anchors of the AWF celebrity coalition (which includes Blair Underwood, Angela Bassett, Courtney B. Vance and others) to cause awareness of the "Be Safe!" Program and a variety of initiatives aimed at preventing child abduction and sexual abuse.

The first of such initiatives is the launch of AmberWatch Lookout, an innovative Internet protection software that gives the power back to parents as their children unsuspectingly navigate the information superhighway, which is fraught with dangers ranging from pornography to sexual predators. In honor of National Child Abuse Prevention Month, the AmberWatch Foundation will give a one-month free trial of the AmberWatch Lookout service to concerned parents.

For their parts, Nancy O'Dell and Tony Potts, both adoring parents, are excited to make the announcement. "As a parent, there's nothing that concerns you more than the safety and innocence of your children," says O'Dell, who not so long ago had a child of her own. Potts, who has two daughters, agrees, adding, "April is going to be a great month as we raise awareness for the AmberWatch Foundation and programs that will increase all our kids' safety."
