January 2011 - Safe Kids
WASHINGTON COUNTY, UT – The Healthy Dixie Council has selected Safe Kids Washington County as the recipient of the Healthy Dixie Award for January 2011. Safe Kids is a local coalition that works to minimize the greatest threat to our youth's lives, vehicle accidents. The coalition offers regular free car seat checks, bike rodeos, and supports International Walk to School Day.
"Safe Kids has been instrumental in putting together free car seat checks throughout the county." said Jordan Mathis Healthy Dixie member, who nominated Safe Kids for the award. "According to a 2004 study each seat checked at these events saves society over $500. But to the family whose child is safe after an vehicle crash this service is priceless."
“The Healthy Dixie Award is an opportunity to recognize people or organizations who are taking action to improve the health of our community”, explains Jane Lambert, the Council president. “The Healthy Dixie Council wants to thank them for their contribution.”
Healthy Dixie is a local coalition of citizens, businesses, city governments, the school district, and health entities working together to promote health and wellness.
