 "2nd Annual Shake A Leg Not A Baby “
Skating fundraiser August 2010
September is National Baby Safety Month and The Exchange Club Family Skills Center has adopted Shaken Baby Syndrome/ Abusive Head Trauma (SBS/AHT) as our cause for that month. SBS/ AHT is one of the most violent forms of child abuse, accounting for the majority of severe head injuries in children less than one year of age. It is the most common cause of mortality and long term disability in infants and young children due to physical abuse.
We are preparing to kick off our awareness campaign by hosting our 2nd Annual “SHAKE A LEG NOT A BABY” Skating Fundraiser. Saturday, August 28, 2010 starting at 5pm at Roller Motion Skate Center, 2474 Morgan Rd, Bessemer, Al 35022.
Tickets are $5 per person or a family 4 pack for $18.
Tell your friends! Tell your church youth groups! Tell your boy and girls scout troops!
Come out to help us kick off our awareness campaign, while letting the kids have some back to school fun!
