FREE Bicycle Helmets

Sponsored by AMSCOT and
HILLSBOROUGH and HARDEE COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICES

The Child Bike Helmet Giveaway is an effort to make Florida’s children safer bicyclists on the roadways. The event will be held on Thursday, September 21, 2006, from 6:00 am to 10:00 am in Hardee, Hernando, Highlands, Hillsborough, Pasco, Pinellas, Polk, Manatee, Orange, Osceola and Sarasota counties. Sheriff Offices and Police Departments throughout Florida will distribute child bike helmets at their nearest participating Amscot location in each county. Amscot Financial encourages the participation of law enforcement agencies in each county by distributing the helmets within their local communities. Hardee County's distribution point will be the Amscot facility located at the Winn Dixie on highway 17 north.

Working together we will make our counties safer, especially for our most valuable asset: our children.

Sincerely,

David Gee, Sheriff - Hillsborough County
            Loran Cogburn, Sheriff - Hardee County
