Hyundai And Baystate Team Up For Child Safety Seat Event In Holyoke
Families attended the second child safety seat event at Gary Rome Hyundai, organised by Hyundai Motor America and Baystate Health Foundation. This initiative aims to enhance child passenger safety in Holyoke, with Hyundai contributing an additional $20,000 to support Baystate Health’s Car Seat Safety Program.
"Hyundai’s dedication to safety goes beyond our world-class vehicles and into the communities we serve," said Benjamin Michajlyszyn, director of Safety Test and Investigation Laboratory (STIL), Hyundai Motor North America. "We are proud to continue our partnership with Baystate Health Foundation, bringing vital education and resources through programs like this one. Together, we are committed to providing parents and caregivers with the knowledge they need to keep their children safe on the road."
During the event, certified Child Passenger Safety Technicians (CPST) educated parents and caregivers on proper car seat installation and usage. They also conducted thorough safety inspections for expiration dates, manufacturer recalls, and proper fit. Families needing new car seats received replacements to ensure maximum safety for their children.
Scott Berg, vice president of philanthropy for Baystate Health and executive director of Baystate Health Foundation, expressed gratitude: "We are grateful to Hyundai for their generosity and to Gary Rome Hyundai for hosting this important event to support local families. Ensuring that children are in the correct car seats and that the car seats are installed properly helps keep kids safe and gives parents peace of mind. To be able to partner with Hyundai to offer this to residents at no cost is a wonderful benefit to the community."
