Stylish Safety, Inc. Launches Nationwide Safety Campaign

Benefits National Center for Victims of Crime


NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- May 11, 2007 -- Stylish Safety, Inc., a company that offers dynamic and motivational safety seminars, announced the launch of their nationwide campaign designed to benefit victims of crimes. The campaign, "Listen for the Whistle," consists of two parts -- an innovative women's safety program, "Dangerous Divas' Safety Tactics," and the sale of the "Divas Crystal Whistle™," a designer brass whistle embellished with genuine European crystals attached to a leather cord. A portion of the proceeds from the campaign is donated to The National Center for Victims of Crime. The campaign was launched at a reception at Maxwell & Dunne's in Plainview, NY.

Referred by Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger as "a fresh and unique approach to a very important issue," the goal of the "Listen for the Whistle" campaign is to promote women's safety awareness while raising money for victims of crime. The "Divas Crystal Whistle™" is the campaign symbol and an invaluable safety device. As a visual and audible crime deterrent, women of ALL ages are urged to CARRY the whistle, USE the whistle, and "LISTEN FOR THE WHISTLE." The campaign advocates that the sound of a whistle means somebody may need help. "The National Center for Victims of Crime is thrilled to be the beneficiary of 'The Listen for the Whistle' Campaign," said Mary Lou Leary the organization's Executive Director. "Lidia and Joanne are on a mission to raise awareness about women's safety issues and prevent victimization. We applaud this effort and know their work will have a positive impact on communities nationwide."

Stylish Safety, Inc. was co-founded by attorney, Lidia Szczepanowski-Goldsmith, also the current Mrs. New York America, and Joanne Hutchins. Their mission is to promote awareness, build confidence, and instill strength into women; empowering them with skills to avoid or fight back against an attacker. During seminars, Lidia and Joanne, both karate black belts, urge women to "know their weapons." They demonstrate how to use "natural" weapons (i.e. voice, body parts, confidence) together with "material" weapons (i.e. shoes, keys, hair spray or whistle). "Women leave our seminars more confident, walking with their chins higher and shoulders back further," explains Szczepanowski-Goldsmith. "We teach women not to live in fear, but to always be aware of their surroundings," she continued.
