The 1776 United Coalition has announced the launch of the Protect Our Children Award, a prestigious new honor recognizing leaders who have demonstrated exceptional courage and leadership in protecting children and defending American families.
WASHINGTON, April 29, 2026 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The , a prominent organization dedicated to safeguarding life and championing the freedoms of all Americans, proudly announces the establishment of the prestigious Protect Our Children Award - one of the most esteemed recognitions in public service, reserved for leaders who have demonstrated extraordinary courage in defending our most vulnerable when it mattered most.
The numbers are staggering - and they demand a response. According to the FBI, every 40 seconds a child goes missing or is abducted in the United States. An estimated 460,000 children are reported missing every year - and experts believe that figure only scratches the surface of the true scale of the crisis. What are we doing as a nation to protect our kids?
As America marks its 250th year as a sovereign nation, there is no more important time to reaffirm our commitment to protecting that sovereignty and safeguarding the next generation of Americans. As our nation works to recover from the devastation left behind, the leaders who fought back - who refused to stay silent and put children above politics - deserve the highest recognition.
With the midterms on the horizon, voters are watching closely. Nothing moves the needle like the safety of our families and the security of our southern border. They want to know who stood up - and who stood down.
The Protect Our Children Award represents the gold standard of that recognition. Each presentation is accompanied by a charitable donation in the recipient's honor to Safe House Project, a nonpartisan 501(c)(3) that has served over 2,700 trafficking survivors, trained more than 400,000 people to identify and report trafficking, and created 624 emergency safe house spaces across the United States.
Those who receive this award will stand the test of time. When future generations look back at this moment in American history - at the crisis that unfolded, and the leaders who refused to look away - the recipients of the Protect Our Children Award will be remembered for exactly what they are: true heroes who put the safety of children above all else. That is a legacy worth fighting for.
Further details regarding upcoming award presentations will be announced in the coming weeks.
