Bike Helmet Safety Program

In an effort to reduce or prevent injuries from bicycle and skateboarding accidents, the Rhode Island Association for Justice donates helmets each Spring to 4th and 5th graders in elementary schools across the state. The program educates students about the law requiring kids under the age of 15 to wear helmets when riding bicycles or scooters and while using skateboards and roller skates. It also teaches them about the importance of wearing helmets to prevent severe head injuries. If your school is interested in being a part of the Bike Helmet Safety Program, please email rijustice@rijustice.org

The donated helmets to schools across the state are made possible by the generous pledges and dedication of many RIAJ members. To view photos from our Bike Helmet Safety Program, click here.
