Sorteo de cascos de bicicleta
A pesar de que la ley de Florida requiere que los niños usen cascos de bicicleta, Howell & Thornhill continúa viendo a demasiados niños andando en bicicleta sin ellos. En Howell & Thornhill, queremos que todos los niños de nuestra comunidad usen cascos porque sabemos que previenen lesiones graves y salvan vidas.
Howell & Thornhill, en cooperación con la Oficina del Sheriff del Condado de Polk y el Departamento de Policía de Winter Haven, regaló cientos de cascos de bicicleta gratis a los niños del área de Winter Haven y Auburndale.
Howell & Thornhill presentó el Sorteo de Cascos como parte de su misión comunitaria para promover la seguridad infantil y prevenir lesiones graves. Gracias a la abrumadora respuesta, Howell & Thornhill está planeando un segundo sorteo de cascos para el otoño.
Los niños de 6 a 11 años que estaban acompañados por un adulto recibieron un casco y un ajuste gratuitos. Todos los cascos de bicicleta están certificados por SNELL y cumplen con los estándares de la Comisión de Seguridad de Productos del Consumidor de los Estados Unidos. Cada casco venía equipado con un manual del propietario y etiquetas de certificación de la CPSC.
Si su hijo todavía necesita un casco de bicicleta, acompañe a su hijo, de 6 a 11 años, a nuestras oficinas en Winter Haven para recoger un casco de bicicleta gratis hasta agotar existencias.
