2) All straps and fasteners must be intact and free of wear and tear.
3) Helmet shell and internal protective foam core must be intact and free of damage.

All donations can be given to Program Manager Nicole McInnes located on the second floor at 3110 Southwest Freeway, Houston, TX. Please call 713-292-0353 or e-mail nmcinnes@sjgs.org for more details.
