In an effort to promote awareness of responsible seat belt use, Safe Kids Kansas, KDOT, and State Farm are once again teaming up to reward drivers who buckle up with the Bucks for Buckles event.

This year’s campaign, being held in 56 cities across Kansas, features local volunteers handing out dollar bills to drivers who have all vehicle occupants buckled up correctly. Educational materials will be handed out to those not buckled up. These events are being held from now through September 9th.

Junction City State Farm Agent Karen Jameson will be hosting a local Bucks for Buckles event.

Bucks for Buckles is one of three Safe Kids Kansas programs receiving support in 2018 from a $25,000 grant from State Farm. This is  the 16th consecutive year that State Farm has supported Safe Kids Kansas & Bucks for Buckles with grant funding.
