A CONCURRENT RESOLUTION

DECLARING WEDNESDAY, MAY 11, 1994, AS "SAFE KIDS DAY" IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

Whereas, each year 8,000 of America's children die from unintentional injuries while an additional 50,000 are permanently disabled; and

Whereas, on average, one child dies of an injury in South Carolina every twenty-one and one-half hours, and South Carolina's childhood injury rate is twenty-two percent higher than the national rate; and

Whereas, these tragic injuries, so called "accidents", are often predictable and preventable; and

Whereas, May 8-14, 1994, has been proclaimed National SAFE KIDS Week, and during that week hundreds of communities nationwide will be focusing on childhood injury prevention activities; and

Whereas, the South Carolina SAFE KIDS Coalition, which is affiliated with the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, has been established to help promote awareness and prevent childhood injury by uniting diverse groups into local coalitions; and

Whereas, the National SAFE KIDS Campaign, supported by Johnson and Johnson, is uniting with state and local SAFE KIDS coalitions and other childhood injury prevention activities to provide vital child safety information. Now, therefore,

Be it resolved by the Senate, the House of Representatives concurring:

That the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina, by this resolution, declares Wednesday, May 11, 1994, as "SAFE KIDS DAY".
