Shands Trauma One helicopter will be coming in for a landing, as well as the American Red Cross, and their mascot, Ready Red Cross, to promote safety awareness. Jacksonville Sheriff's Office will be on-hand, fingerprinting children for safety identification. Representatives from Jacksonville Fire and Rescue Department will also attend.

A silent auction to benefit United Way will give bidders a chance to win golf for four at Deerfield Lakes Country Club, restaurant prizes from Red Lobster, Olive Garden and Cracker Barrel, and hair care from Shear Perfections.
