For over 70 years, The Junior League of Waterloo-Cedar Falls has sought to
improve life in the Cedar Valley. Countless lives have been touched through the volunteer efforts and financial
resources contributed by Junior League.
The Junior League of Waterloo-Cedar Falls is announcing their 2010-2011 focus
project, Safe Rides for Kids. According to the Safe Kids USA website, motor vehicle
crashes are the leading cause of death among children ages 2-14. Nearly 73% of all
child restraints are not installed or used properly. The proper use of child safety
seats reduced risk of motor vehicle death by 71% in children ages 14 and under.
Junior League strives to provide new and innovative programs that benefit women
and children in the community. By focusing on Safe Rides for Kids, Junior League
hopes to provide the education that parents need to ensure their children are
protected in motor vehicles.
Local community organizations looking to partner with the Junior League
of Waterloo-Cedar Falls on this focus project should complete the
application (link is below). Complete applications should be submitted to the
JLWCF, Vice President of Community Impact by September 17, 2010.
