Project Braman Kids
Dedicated to stopping preventable brain injury in children and teens
It's a no brainer
Bike helmets avoid traumatic brain injuries and save lives! Protect our kids' incredible brains by wearing a properly fitted helmet.
The National Committee to Stop Brain Injury Now in conjunction with The Children's Helmet Initiative and Legislative Defense Fund is a national organization but operates at a grassroots level with the goal of urging enforcement helmet laws designed to protect children.

Code enforcement isn't enough
Even in localities where protective laws exist code enforcement is variable and often deficient. There are a variety of reasons for this, most notably the fact that even with the most conscientious law enforcement, there are difficulties inherent in enforcing codes relating to children at play, including biking, skateboarding, skiing, and snowboarding.
Stopping brain injury now begins with community involvement and parental safety models.
