The Foundation of Morris Hall/St. Lawrence, Inc. held a press conference Tuesday to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its affiliation with Safe Kids Worldwide and to announce a new safety initiative in conjunction with the Brain Injury Association of New Jersey and the Lawrence Township Police Department.
Safe Kids Worldwide was founded 20 years ago to help prevent unintentional childhood injuries in children ages 14 and under. In New Jersey alone, over 75 lives have been saved each year for the past 20 years due to the efforts of Safe Kids.
St. Lawrence Rehabilitation Center formed the Mercer County Chapter of Safe Kids in 1999, which is the first chapter in New Jersey and has sponsored many safety programs in the community. At the press conference, St. Lawrence president and CEO Chuck Brennan and Police Chief Dan Posluszny announced the “Think Positive-A Helmet Safety Reward Program” in which the Lawrence Township Police officers will give “positive tickets” to children who are seen wearing a helmet while riding a bike, skateboard or rollerblades. The tickets will be distributed throughout the summer and can be redeemed for items donated by the local merchants.
