Children & Families Commission of Orange County
Curt Pringle & Associates serves as the public affairs firm for local and state support of Commission communications and marketing programs. In November 1998, California voters passed a statewide ballot initiative, Proposition 10, which added a 50-cent levy to tobacco products sold in the state. The resulting revenues are directed by the program through all state counties to fund new and expanded education, health and early childhood development programs, from the prenatal period to age five.
In 1999, the Orange County Board of Supervisors established the Children and Families Commission and appointed its nine commissioners to assess and allocate funds to programs that promote development of children in our community. The Commissioners are drawn from the ranks of public and private-sector leaders in the areas of pediatric health and education.
Curt Pringle & Associates serves the Children and Families Commission of Orange County to implement state and local communications strategy, promoting Commission funded programs and initiatives as effective models to serve young children and their families. One example of CP&A’s efforts was the launch of the Commission’s major campaign called "Start Smart: Immunize." Partnering with the local chapter of the American Academy of Pediatrics, the Commission's campaign aimed to educate parents about the benefits of immunization and where they can get their children fully immunized at no cost. Through direct government, media and public interface, CP&A assists in the promotion of programs including disaster/pandemic influenza preparedness, early literacy, and the National Children’s Study.
