Memorial Day weekend is the unofficial start of summer — but for pediatric trauma teams, it can also mean more preventable crashes, injuries, and lives changed forever. 💔

Having “just one more” drink can lead to more than you think.

This weekend, make a plan before you celebrate. Protect the kids, families, and communities counting on you to make it home safely.

Because our doctors and nurses never want to say, “We did everything we could.”

Say it with us: Not one more. 🙏
