History
ACE first emerged in early 2000 when a small group of leaders from the household product industry combined forces with several nonprofit organizations to form a partnership committed to ensuring the health of children, families, and communities across the United States. ACE was formed to promote the responsible and beneficial use of products to ensure a cleaner, safer, and healthier environment, and it officially became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization on May 30, 2001.
On October 25, 2011, U.S. Senator Herb Kohl (D-WI) became the foundation’s newest honorary chair. Senator Kohl said of the organization, “The Alliance for Consumer Education is dedicated to protecting our young people from harm, and I’m honored to serve as the foundation’s honorary chairman.”
Inhalant Abuse Prevention
ACE’s flagship program, Inhalant Abuse Prevention, is designed to provide parents with practical information about inhalant abuse so they can include it in substance abuse discussions with their children. At the core of this program are the Inhalant Abuse Prevention Kits and Inhalant Abuse Prevention Facilitators Guide and Lesson Plan, which are currently being sent to thousands of schools and communities across the country.
Disease Prevention
The goal of ACE’s Disease Prevention Program is to strengthen and promote a healthier environment within homes, businesses, and the community by providing information necessary to break the cycle of disease transmission. The program uses its mascots Ace Clean and Professor Grime as aids to educate people on simple steps to keep themselves and their families safe and healthy.
Heroes of the Health League
Heroes of the Health League is ACE’s newest program. It offers an all-encompassing look at the home, covering topics relating to poison prevention, proper disposal and storage, pet safety, fire safety, and sustainability concepts (light usage, water usage, recycling, etc.).
