HEADS UP NOLA

Sign the Pledge. Protect Your Head.

Heads Up Banner

Thank you to everyone who signed the pledge! We hope everyone will wear a helmet for every ride, game, or sport where head trauma is possible.

We have a limited number of helmets in various sizes remaining. After you sign the pledge, please call our office and ask to speak with Linda Morgan at (504) 473-6861 to check availability and schedule a time to pick up your helmet at our Metairie office during regular business hours. Remaining helmets will be distributed on a first come, first served basis. We would like to thank our partner, Bicycle World of Louisiana, for helping us provide so many helmets to those in our community.
