HYANNIS, MA…

The Law Offices of John C. Manoog III, a personal injury law firm based in Hyannis, recently announced it will be donating 30 bicycle helmets to a bicycle rodeo to be conducted by the Barnstable Police Department on June 1 at the Hyannis Youth & Community Center located at 141 Basset Lane in Hyannis. The rodeo will take place in a sectioned off part of the Center’s parking lot from 11am to 2pm.

As part of the rodeo, Barnstable Police Department bicycle patrol will demonstrate safe riding skills for attendees. Children who bring bikes to the rodeo can take part in the drills. School-age children, K-12, are invited to attend. The 30 helmets will be given away as part of a free raffle during the course of the rodeo.

“It would not be a rodeo if the riders weren’t wearing something on their heads. In this case, bicycle helmets offer far more protection than cowboy hats,” joked John C. Manoog III. “Seriously, we’re happy to team up with the Barnstable PD to help kids learn how to safely navigate their bicycles and to wear the proper equipment.”

“Many of the injuries we see to younger cyclists could have been mitigated or prevented altogether had they been wearing helmets,” said Sergeant Tom Twomey, leader of Barnstable’s bike patrol unit. “We’re very grateful to Attorney Manoog for donating these helmets and to the Youth & Community Center for hosting the event.”

In addition to the helmet raffle, Friendly’s will be handing out coupons to kids attending the ride for a free scoop of ice cream.

“We’re in a fun business—selling ice cream and other delicious foods–but we take the role of being a member of the greater Hyannis business community very seriously. Part of that is giving back to the community,” said Anna Griswold, District Sales Manager for Friendly’s. “If an event like this can help prevent just one child from being injured on their bicycle because of this rodeo, then it was well worth it.”

HYANNIS, AND PLYMOUTH, MA…

The holidays are a time for giving. For many business owners that means more than buying gifts for family and friends but giving back to the communities in which they do business. In that spirit, The Law Offices of John C. Manoog III recently made a $500 donation to the Children’s Cove Center, The Cape and Islands Advocacy Center.

Children’s Cove is a Barnstable County agency dedicated to helping the Cape & Islands communities respond to allegations of child abuse in ways that are effective and efficient and put the needs of child victims of abuse first. Children’s Cove is a freestanding, child-friendly facility designed to ensure that victims of child sexual abuse and their non-offending family members have access to support and services in a safe, respectful, and compassionate environment.

“For families torn apart by instances of child sexual abuse, the holidays can be an extremely difficult time of year,” said John C. Manoog III, a personal injury attorney and principal of the Law Offices of John C. Manoog III. “We wanted to donate to the Children’s Cove to help make the holidays a little brighter for residents of the center and to let people at the agency know their work is appreciated by the community.”

As one of 11 Child Advocacy Centers in Massachusetts, Children’s Cove is an accredited agency through the National Children’s Alliance that provides coordinated and comprehensive services to child victims and their family members. In 2009, Children’s Advocacy Centers around the country served over 254,000 child victims of abuse, providing victim advocacy and support to these children and their families.

“You can’t undervalue the services Children Cove provides,” said Manoog. “I encourage all Cape business owners to reach into their pockets this holiday season and donate to this very worthy cause.
