IN THE COMMUNITY
Help Give Sick Children Laughs,
Hopes and Smiles
AAA Cares is Teaming Up with Caitlin’s Smiles!
The mission of Caitlin’s Smiles is simple; share smiles and laughter with children facing chronic or life-threatening illnesses. The organization distributes art and crafts kits to hospitals, giving kids an outlet for creativity and the means to heightened feelings of self-worth.
The organization was founded in 2004 after a Harrisburg-based family lost their daughter, Caitlin Hornung. Since its founding, the organization has provided more than 1.9 MILLION craft kits to kids in hospitals throughout Central PA and the Mid-Atlantic.
To support their efforts, AAA Cares will be providing materials to each branch for employees, members and the general public to create kits that will be delivered to local hospitals.
Dates for Craft Kit Creation Parties will be announced soon! You can learn more about this wonderful organization and its impact at caitlins-smiles.org, and find dates to create kits at a branch near you at AAA.com/AAACares.

AAA Central Penn Reminds Motorists to
Slow Down, Move Over!
Emergency roadside assistance
is at the core of AAA’s traffic safety mission. Yet, the men and women who help AAA members when they are in need also put their lives on the line every day.
AAA tow operators respond to more than 30 million calls for help each year, working on roadside
shoulders that are frequently no wider than four feet. Notably, the towing industry is 15 times deadlier than all other private industries combined; and an average of 23 tow operators
are killed at the roadside every year. That means one service provider on average is killed in the line of duty every other week.
Because of these startling statistics, AAA is committed to increase awareness of and support for Slow Down, Move Over laws. These laws (which are in place in all 50 states) are aimed at protecting emergency responders working along the roadside, requiring motorists to slow down and move over or change lanes, if possible, to give safe clearance.
The next time you see a service vehicle at the roadside, slow down and move over. Their lives are on your shoulders.
