Prevention - Bike
Helmet Mini Grant Program
BIAOH awarded 77 Bike Helmet
Mini-Grants in November 2004, through a grant from the Ohio
Department of Public Safety, Emergency Medical Services.
Brain Injury Association of Ohio to distribute
mini-grants for bike helmets
The Brain Injury Association of Ohio has been awarded a grant from
the Ohio Department of Public Safety - Ohio EMS Injury Prevention
Program. A portion of these funds were used to award mini-grants of $200.00
each for the purchase of bicycle helmets to groups within Ohio
engaged in community education programs that promote bicycle safety
for children. The timeline for this funding is different this year.
Interested community groups were asked to submit their applications by
October 31, 2004. Awards were selected and distributed in late
November. Most recipients scheduled events where the helmets
were distributed in the Spring of 2005.
