“Lids at the Library” is the centerpiece of the Griffins’ award-winning “Put A Lid On It!” (PALOI) helmet safety program, which is presented by Helen DeVos Children’s Hospital. This year, the Griffins visited KDL’s Byron Township Branch on June 25 and GRPL’s Seymour Branch on June 26, fitting free bike helmets for a total of 255 kids. Since the program’s founding in 2004, the Griffins have worked with numerous local organizations to encourage helmet usage during wheeled sports, prevent head injuries, and reward kids who wear their helmets.

PALOI targets elementary and middle school students in a seven-county region of West Michigan. Children age 17 or younger who visit griffinshockey.com/putalidonit with parental permission and sign a pledge to always wear their helmet will be rewarded with a voucher for two free tickets to a 2019-20 Griffins game and be automatically registered for a drawing to win a new bike.
