Tonight, we proudly honor John and Revé Walsh. We wouldn’t be the nation’s leading child protection organization without the Walshes. A heartfelt thank you to John and Revé for 40 years of unwavering dedication and sacrifice in guiding NCMEC’s mission to protect children.#40YearsOfHope 💛 | National Center for Missing & Exploited Children

On July 27, 1981, Adam Walsh was abducted from a Florida department store and murdered at just 6 years old. In the wake of their child's senseless death, John and Revé Walsh realized there were so many other children and families who needed help. Along with other child advocates, they founded NCMEC as a private, non-profit organization to serve as the national resource center for information about missing and exploited children. #40YearsOfHope #AdamWalsh | National Center for Missing & Exploited
