Safe Kids Day LA Drew Barrymore Mischa Barton + Other Celebs Bring Awareness to Family Event

Family Safety

Guest Post

Last week I attended Safe Kids Day LA, a day-long star-studded celebration bringing together families from the community including more than 800 parents and kids with celebrities and national sponsors to help raise awareness about children's safety through programs provided by non-profit Safe Kids Worldwide. The generosity of sponsors and committee members made it possible for 58 deserving families from Westside Children's Center, Mar Vista Family Center and Children's Hospital of LA to participate.

Immediately after walking through the entrance, I noticed the rooms at Smashbox Studios had been transformed into interactive areas where kids of all ages could participate and learn how to be and stay safe. Above you see actress Drew Barrymore with Zoologist Jack Hanna and one of his creatures at the event.

Celebrities lending their names to this good cause were everywhere. Among those attending the event were Drew Barrymore, Jack Hanna, Kelly Rowland, Jeff Goldblum, Mark-Paul Gosselaar, Donald Faison, Mischa Barton, Asia Monet Ray, Tom Arnold, the cast of Fresh Off the Boat and others.

Room after room was filled with "My High 5" safety tips. For example, parents learned bath time safety in a whimsical area sponsored by Johnson & Johnson, while kids jumped into a giant ball pit resembling a bathtub.

There was also a separate section where little ones could personalize their own rubber ducky. Other corporations making the day possible included event presenter Nationwide with support from FedEx, Chevrolet, Kidde Fire Safety, Safety 1st and Tide.

Seemingly a world a way, but in reality just across the hall, was a room with a dance floor and a DJ spinning tunes. Yep, it was a mini dance club area where kids could whip and get their "nae nae" on -- courtesy of Guess Foundation. Just off to the side of the dance area was a table covered with sunglasses, where kids could decorate their shades and learn about sun safety.

Outside the action continued with a basketball court where families could shoot hoops together and a speedway where children could zip around in mini cars.

All of that playing sure built up an appetite for kids and their moms, dads and caregivers. Luckily there was an abundance of food booths and trucks from local eateries where families could snack on burgers, tacos, pizza and ice cream sandwiches. Overall this was a fun day for everyone, no matter what your age.
