Proceeds from the event will benefit children in need in the U.S., with a portion donated to Rex Bell Elementary School, a Title One school in Las Vegas. In addition to the donation, the school received 9,000 meals assembled by ISC West attendees the day before the Security 5K/2K.

“Year after year, it is gratifying and humbling to see the security industry come together to give back to those in need, and this year’s event was one of the best yet,” said Jeff Eichenlaub, Director of Strategic Partnerships for Mission 500. “It was especially satisfying to see the immediate impact the industry’s support had on a local school through the care pack we held during the show.”

Eleven members of the 500 Club, which recognises volunteers who raise $500 or more for Mission 500, raised a combined $17,200 and received branded Mission 500 jackets.

The top fundraising team was MONI Smart Security, which raised a total of $7,030. Ronnie Pennington of Altronix was the top individual fundraiser, collecting $4,205, followed by Travis Miller with $3,160 and Mary Jensby with $2,550. Heather Miller of Anixter raised $1,900, which will be matched by her employer for a total of $3,800.

In addition to funds raised through the Security 5K/2K and other events, Fredrik Nilsson, Vice President, Americas at Axis Communications announced that he will be donating the royalties of his new book, “Intelligent Network Video: Understanding Modern Video Surveillance Systems, Second Edition,” to Mission 500.
