Frankfort Regional Medical Center (FRMC) will be hosting its 13th annual “Kid’s Safety Day” on Saturday, July 27 from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. in the back parking lot of the hospital.

Kid's Safety Day, held annually in memory of Charlie Semones, who tragically lost his life in 2012 after being struck by a vehicle while riding his bicycle, is dedicated to increasing awareness of child safety issues. The event is free and is designed for children ages 4-10 to learn more about important safety education and receive complimentary bicycle helmets for children (while supplies last). Kids are encouraged to bring their bikes and ride Charlie’s Challenge safety course.

“Kid’s Safety Day is a great way for children and families to learn more about how to stay safe while enjoying many fun activities,” said John Ballard, PhD, FACHE, chief executive officer at Frankfort Regional Medical Center.

The event will highlight the following:

  • Bike safety (Charlie’s Challenge bike safety course)
  • Fire safety
  • Safety seat checks
  • Vehicle dangers
  • Water safety
