The Yankton Rotary Club, Yankton Medical Clinic, and several other organizations partnered together on Wednesday to give away bicycle helmets to every second grader in the Yankton School District.
Rotary Club President, Mike Villanueva, says they ended up giving away 246 bicycle helmets.
Dr. Dave Withrow, a Pediatrician with the Yankton Medical Clinic, says he hopes the helmets will help protect children from brain injuries while out on their bikes.
Other organizations involved include the Yankton School District, Ace Bike & Fitness, South Dakota Sanford School of Medicine Students, Yankton Police Department, and the City of Yankton.
