Spring is almost here, and that means bikes will be back out on the streets. 🚲
We want to make sure kids are riding safely — and we need help from our community to do it.

We are currently looking for:

🚔 Police partners
Departments that want to distribute free helmets to kids and reward those who wear them.

💛 Donations
Every dollar goes directly toward purchasing helmets for children who need them.

🏢 Grant support
Does your business — or one you know — give to local nonprofits? We’d love to connect about funding helmet programs for kids.

If you or your organization can help in any of these ways, please reach out. Together we can make this biking season safer for kids.
