Concussion awareness coloring contest emphasizes safety for young athletes Get your children involved in spreading the word about how to protect their heads while playing sports or participating in other activities, so they avoid getting a concussion. BryanLGH is part of Heads Up Nebraska, an effort to raise awareness (see related stories on Pages 8-11) about the dangers of concussions. Your children can help! Create a picture that shows an activity where it is smart to wear a helmet to protect your head. Artwork will be divided among age categories — you could win a $25 gift card and be featured on the BryanLGH concussion website! Join us in helping spread the word that Helmets Are Cool and It’s Smart to Protect Your Head. Visit www.bryanlgh.org/helmetsarecool or www.headsupnebraska.com to participate in this contest.
