Stinger helped distribute and properly fit a free Blue Jackets-branded helmet to all 335 students. In addition, the program included hands-on bicycle safety training and a number of other safety-themed activities.
“Supporting the health and wellness of kids in central Ohio is the mission of the Columbus Blue Jackets Foundation and promoting safe play goes hand-in-hand with that mission,” said Kathryn Dobbs, Blue Jackets VP of Community Relations and Executive Director of the Blue Jackets Foundation.
“More importantly, our grant partners at Nationwide Children’s Hospital do a great job working closely with city programs like Neighborhood Pride to not only distribute bike helmets to the kids who need them, but they provide the hands-on bike safety training as well.
