The Prohab Helmet Society is a non-profit incorporation dedicated to promoting and providing helmets to cyclists who are not wearing them. We encourage safety and strive to break down any image barriers associated with the use of bike helmets and protective gear. We love fun, and being safe while having it.
Prohab was founded in the spring of 2009 by Dustin J. Bromley and Renee N. Le Page after a dear friend of ours was in a cycling accident which left him with a brain injury. For us and our friends–avid, though admittedly carefree, cyclists–this was a real wake up call. We decided to do what we could to develop awareness about the use of helmets within our bike community.
Starting with a show with some local bands and DJs, we managed to raise enough money to purchase an order of helmets, which were quickly snatched up-by donation-by those in our community who were without.
In order to be sustainable, we have worked on multiple fundraising efforts, the most successful being the 2010 Prohab Calendar.
Prohab was able to gain a partnership with MACE Helmets in early 2010, which has allowed us to acquire more brain buckets, and continue our goal of getting them onto heads.
As of mid October 2010, we have provided over 160 helmets to active cyclists in and around Vancouver, BC.
