Making a Difference: Making A Difference – ThinkFirst Nevada, Land Rover & Ricardo Laguna
With injury being the leading cause of death among children and teens, it’s more important than ever to promote safety for our local youth. ThinkFirst Nevada aims to do just that by providing programs to help inspire kids to make safe choices. ThinkFirst recently teamed up with Land Rover for just such an educational endeavor, aided by professional BMX rider Ricardo Laguna.
Throughout his incredible career, Laguna has won much recognition and numerous accolades, taking part in the X-Games, the Dew Action Sports Tour, Gravity Games, BMX Masters and many other rigorous competitions. At a special event held at Land Rover Las Vegas on January 12th, kids got the chance to meet Laguna and receive a free helmet from ThinkFirst. Laguna and friends also took time to put on a BMX demonstration for everyone, much to the delight of the crowd. Other entertainment on site included an energetic performance from a crew of breakdancers with Jay R Beatbox, while tasty bites were provided by the Spot to Eat food tuck.
Everyone will agree that it’s always a good thing when kids stay active, but never at the expense of well being. Thanks to initiatives such as the ones promoted by ThinkFirst Nevada, along with the help of Land Rover and Ricardo Laguna, local young people can stay active all the time while still making sure they are aware of personal vulnerability and the importance of safety.
