Join WHA on June 8th for Family Day at Safetyville

Published: June 6, 2019

The newly revamped Family Day at Safetyville, held on Saturday, June 8, 2019 from 11 AM to 3 PM, is a free event designed to give families valuable information and access to community resources in the Sacramento area.  The event takes place in a unique miniature city that is designed to teach children safety skills. Western Health Advantage is a sponsor of this event.

Families attending will enjoy:

  • Over 50 booths with health, safety and recreational resources for families

  • Safety and health giveaways

  • Food and refreshments

  • Raffle tickets for great prizes

  • Safety demonstrations

Safetyville’s goal is to instill safety values in children through Safetyville USA and its unique interactive safety and health education programs. Safetyville consists of a unique 1/3 scale city, complete with sidewalks, crosswalks, stoplights and signs, an abandoned building (to demonstrate the dangers of playing in unregulated areas), police and fire stations, a dentist office, grocery store – and much more, to allow children to practice everyday safety skills, helping to lay the groundwork for lifelong safety and health.
