April is National Facial Protection Month! In order to bring awareness to this holiday, as you take on different outdoor activities, don’t forget to wear protective equipment like helmets or mouth guards!

Accidents can happen whether a child is playing on the monkey bars or an adult is riding their bike. No matter what sport or outdoor activity you are taking part in, being safe should be your number one priority. 

Why is safety important? According to the Academy for Sports Dentistry, “An estimated 12 million people ages of 5 and 22 years suffer a sport-related injury annually, which leads to 20 million lost days of school and approximately $33 billion in healthcare costs.” What could help mitigate this issue is safety protocols and safety equipment! 

If you would like to attend an event all about bike safety and brain health come on down to the Bike Rodeo happening in Triple Creek Park on May 31st! This event is for anyone ages 5-14! The event flyer is below for more information:
