Habush Habush & Rottier Continues March to 100,000th Helmet Donation at Oak Creek Police Department Annual Bike Rodeo

May 29, 2012

Habush Habush & Rottier to offer free bike helmets to 75 local children


Habush Habush & Rottier will continue its statewide tour to provide children with free bike helmets at the Oak Creek Police Department Annual Bike Rodeo event. Seventy-five local children will receive a free helmet on a first-come, first-served basis from noon to 3:00 p.m. at the American Legion - Post 434, located at 9327 S. Shepherd Ave. in Oak Creek.

In addition to annual bike helmet donations, 39 Habush Habush & Rottier staff members have been trained by Safe Kids USA, an organization dedicated to preventing accidental childhood injury, to offer specialized fitting services.

Since 1999, the Habush firm’s charitable funds have distributed more than 91,500 bicycle helmets to children throughout the State of Wisconsin and plan to donate an additional 8,500 this summer. This year, Habush will donate its 100,000th helmet. Researchers have found that wearing a helmet can reduce the severity of brain injury by as much as 88%. Most of the helmets are distributed at bike safety rodeos and summer safety programs run by police departments and community organizations throughout Wisconsin. In addition, many police officers around the state distribute bicycle helmets to neighborhood children while on patrol, helping to promote positive, open relationships between local authorities and youth.

The Habush Habush & Rottier Charitable Funds allow the law firm to give back to the communities in which its attorneys practice. The Habush Habush & Rottier law firm has been a Wisconsin personal injury law firm for over 75 years. Thirteen offices are located throughout the State of Wisconsin and are located in Milwaukee, Waukesha, Madison, Appleton, Green Bay, Racine, Kenosha, Lake Geneva, Wausau, Rhinelander, Sheboygan, West Bend and Stevens Point.
