MIAMI, Feb. 3, 2010 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. (OTCBB:DPDM) (www.globenewswire.com/newsroom/ctr%3Fd=173288%26amp;l=1%26amp;u=http%253A%252F%252Fwww.dolphindigitalmedia.com" target="_top" rel="nofollow">http://www.dolphindigitalmedia.com), a creator of secure social networking websites for children utilizing state-of the-art fingerprint identification technology, is pleased to announce that the company has entered into a strategic partnership with the United Way of Miami-Dade to promote its signature product, Dolphin Secure.
“I couldn’t be more thrilled to announce the partnership between Dolphin Digital Media and the United Way of Miami-Dade,” said Bill O’Dowd, Chief Executive Officer of Dolphin Digital Media, Inc. “United Way has long been the leading charitable force in our community. The goodwill it has earned in Miami-Dade through decades of positive impact is unmatched. We are honored that Dolphin Secure has been uniquely recognized as a positive catalyst for change in our community, and beyond, by such a world-class organization,” continued O’Dowd.
Dolphin Secure (http://www.dolphinsecure.com) is a groundbreaking family Internet solution that gives parents the tools to protect their children from online threats such as pornography, online impersonation, cyber-bullying and unsolicited chat requests. Dolphin Secure is easy-to-use software that downloads onto any computer in a child’s life, and requires fingerprint identification prior to accessing the internet or any chat application. Parents now have the ability to guide where their children can go, and whom they can talk to, while online, even when the parents are not around to supervise.
“We were blown away from the very first demonstration of Dolphin Secure,” states Harve Mogul, President and CEO of United Way of Miami-Dade. “Online safety of children is a critical, mission-appropriate concern of the United Way, as it impacts both the education and health of our community’s most important asset, our youth.”
United Way of Miami-Dade is committed to helping Dolphin Digital Media in raising awareness around the importance of internet safety for children and the benefits of Dolphin Secure. Through this business partnership, United Way will work with Dolphin Digital Media to expand its reach into key markets and audiences.
“We know that internet safety is the number one concern of parents,” United Way Board Chair Sheldon Anderson, Miami-Dade president for Northern Trust, said. “Having a pro-active approach to protecting children online in their own homes will provide parents the treasured gift of peace of mind. We are excited to work with Bill and his team in this most important of endeavors.”
“No other single organization has as much reach into all aspects of our community’s life, and therefore as much potential to be the champion of our cause, as the United Way,” states Bill O’Dowd. “Furthermore, our upcoming group functionality will allow us to work with the United Way of Miami-Dade in bringing Dolphin Secure to those organizations that can most benefit from protecting our children. The possibilities and ramifications of this partnership are endless.”
