Temperatures are rising and summer is nearly here. Children should never be left unattended in a vehicle, not for even one second. Over 700 children have died from heatstroke after being left in a car.

Let’s join together to raise awareness. Pledge to share these statistics with one person.

1. Every 10 days a child dies from heatstroke.

2. A car can heat up 19 degrees in 10 minutes.

3. Children’s bodies heat up 3-5x faster than adults.

4. More than half of heatstroke deaths occurred when a distracted caregiver forgot a quiet child was in the vehicle.

It’s International Bike (or Walk) to School awareness week!

Whether you have a child who can bike or you yourself are a student, consider the many ways you can get involved.

1. Why raise awareness: Biking (or walking) may be an alternative to using a car. It helps one’s health and the environment.

2. How to raise awareness: Take even one day, and bike to school yourself, or with your child. Or, gather friends together to do it.

Live too far from school?
- For students that live further than 1-2 miles from school, consider planning a remote drop off option. Find a central location such as a park or library a short distance away from the school.

No matter how big or small, your contribution helps!
