Hey Everyone! 

This month is a very unique Happy Helmets in which we are partnering with one of the most humble humans: Grace Warner! Grace is a street snowboarder from Michigan that is on the rise and making waves with her distinctive and flawless style. Mental health & brain health are important to Grace and we are excited to add her to the Save A Brain family!

For Mental Health Awareness Month Grace teamed with Red Bull & Giro to support our program. Good news, the recipients of this month’s donation could be YOU! We’re giving away 1 Giro Ledge helmet each day of May. Every week we will do a giveaway post where you can enter to win a helmet and we will be picking 7 winners at the end of the week.

Brain health and mental health go hand in hand so preventing head injuries can go a long way for yourself. If you or anyone you know is in need of a good quality helmet, enter the weekly giveaway on our IG.

Happy Helmets | ProTec x Anchors Outdoor Adventures

Hey Friends! 

Spring has officially sprung and we hope everyone has been enjoying the sunshine as much as we have!

We teamed up with Pro-Tec & Anchors Outdoor Adventures for April’s Happy Helmets! We’re always in awe when Pro-Tec wants partner and we’re excited to support the A.O.A for the first time, ever.

Pro-Tec:

Pro-Tec has been our biggest sponsor of Happy Helmets to date and we’re forever grateful for their generosity. Protec has been an industry leader within protective gear since 1973! 

They have your noggin covered across an array of sports: Skate, Snow, water as well as bike. They have incredible technology options within their helmets, such as MIPs, ABS, EPS along with shells that are polycarbonate. Why stop there? They also have an amazing selection of low profile body protective pads/ guards.

Anchors Outdoor Adventures:

Anchors Outdoor Adventures is a PNW based nonprofit whose mission is to re-create outdoor recreation. 

How? You may ask:

“​We utilize outdoor recreation as a way of teaching that when the "storms of life" hit, you have the ability to stand firm in who you are and are able to weather it. To us, outdoor recreation and action sports is an anchoring tenant of personal foundation, transformation, life skills and fun. 

We wanted to break the “pay-to-play” barrier associated with outdoor recreation and offer youth a safe and inclusive space to try something new, have fun and make outdoor recreation accessible. We provide youth in the PNW an avenue to experience: wakeboarding, snowboarding, skateboarding, and fishing. We are always looking to expand and offer new sports too, so please reach out if you would like to help with a new sport.”

A.O.A provides the community a safe and inclusive space to try something they might otherwise not have access to, build community, create lasting relationships and have fun! 

A.O.A provides the gear, transportation, education and modifications around different outdoor activities in order to make them accessible to all.
