Safe Kids

​It is important to remember that kids should wear a helmet when riding a scooter, skating, skateboarding or biking. It is the single most effective safety device available to reduce head injury and death from bike crashes.

Safe Kids Southern Tier New York (SKSTNY) is excited to announce that we are kicking off the Safe Summer Bike Helmets program in Cattaraugus, Allegany, and Chautauqua Counties. Local police departments and EMS agencies will be giving children a free bicycle helmet if they are seen riding without one or reward them with a $5 Amazon gift card if they are seen wearing a helmet while riding.

​

If your child is in need of a helmet, please contact us at ​safekids@sthcs.org or call us at (716) 372-0614.
