Safe Kids Day is an awareness & fundraising initiative for the prevention of childhood injuries.   On May 18, 2013, communities around the world will celebrate Safe Kids Day with events and awareness activities.   In Thurston County drowning is a significant cause of death among children ages 0-14 years so Safe Kids Thurston County will be at the Olympia Boatswap event at the Swantown Marina focusing on water safety efforts by providing educational activities & offering good quality life jackets at a reduced cost.

Proceeds from Safe Kids Day support the injury prevention efforts of Safe Kids Thurston County and our partner, Safe Kids Worldwide, a leading global nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing childhood injury. Funds raised through Safe Kids Day will support child injury prevention programs locally, nationally and globally.

The Child Care Action Council and Thurston County Medic One serve as the lead organizations, lending support to help the group accomplish their goals related to childhood injury prevention in Thurston County.

Check out this rap written and performed by a very cool 11-year-old, Brody, who relays through rap the importance of staying hydrated while playing sports. 

Dehydration not only hurts performance during activity but can also put a child at risk for a more serious heat-related illness, such as heat exhaustion or heat stroke. Young athletes are at a higher risk than adults for heat illnesses because they absorb heat faster and sweat less (which helps the body cool) than adults.
