Ride For Safety

Minidoka Memorial Hospital sponsored the 5th annual Ride For Safety on July 2nd. Hundreds of kids, parents, volunteers and hospital employees converged on the front lawn to decorate bikes, get new bike helmets, have their bikes inspected and eat hotdogs, chips and enjoy soda. Carl Hanson was seen attaching cards to bikes with clothes pins to almost every bike that came through. Marcia Drage was busy fitting kids with the proper size of helmet, while Joel Rogers cooked and cooked and cooked those yummy hotdogs. MMH has given away over 1000 helmets over the past five years. Ride for Safety is a way to promote exercise, safety and youth and adult positive relationships. Thanks to all of our hospital employees that volunteered to help make this event a huge success.
