MERIDIAN, ID – The Idaho College of Osteopathic Medicine's (ICOM) Neurosurgery Club has teamed up with local schools to launch a helmet collection fundraiser aimed at providing 100 new helmets to children across the Treasure Valley. The initiative, which began on February 24, will last until March 14.

The fundraiser’s goal is to ensure children’s safety while riding bicycles, scooters, or skateboards, especially for those whose families may not be able to afford helmets.

**Four Ways to Contribute:**

1. **Donate Online:** Visit their donation website or scan the QR code provided on the fundraiser flyer.

2. **Drop off Helmets:** New helmets can be dropped off at ICOM, located at 1401 E Central Drive, Meridian, ID.

3. **Ship Helmets:** Send new helmets to the following address:

*ICOM Helmets*

*PO Box 13*

*Caldwell, ID 83606*

4. **Spread the Word:** Share the flyer and talk to others about this cause to maximize outreach.

This community-driven project focuses on enhancing safety for kids in the Treasure Valley, ensuring they have access to proper protective gear while engaging in outdoor activities.
