Win a motorcycle helmet. Or a football helmet. Or a brand new convertible car seat for your kid! These are just a few prizes up for grabs in the John C. Lincoln's brain injury social media contest. In recognition of Brain Injury Awareness Month, John C. Lincoln wants to help reduce the number of brain injuries in the community by sponsoring a contest on Facebook.
Some of the prizes include a youth multi-sport helmet and Sparx motorcycle helmet.
Each day during the week of March 7, go to facebook.com/JCLHN, read the question of the day and post your answer on John C. Lincoln's wall. The questions are themed around brain injury prevention and appeal to several audiences.
"We see too many brain injuries come through our trauma center that could have been prevented," said Lori Moxon, RN, BSN, injury prevention outreach coordinator of Trauma Services. "Brain injuries can be easily prevented if we take simple precautions in our everyday lives. Things such as wearing a helmet on a motorcycle or a bicycle, keeping age appropriate children in car seats and staying off your cell phone while driving are just a few examples."
Other prizes include a Bell youth multi-sport helmet and an educational teen driving T-shirt. The answers will be revealed on youtube.com/johnclincolntv, and if more than one person answers correctly each day, we will host a daily drawing.
All participants must "Like" John C. Lincoln's Facebook page in order to have access to the daily questions. You can "Like" our page by visiting facebook.com/JCLHN.
