For More Information
Program Founder and Director, Tammie Budrow, gladly takes inquiries from organizations across the nation to help spread this message.
“When I lost my eight-year-old daughter to a downhill sledding accident, I was faced with a choice to question what knowledge I was lacking or to allow more children to fall victim to dangers we are unaware of. I decided to dedicate my time to an idea that had yet to be pursued: a winter safety program. I challenge you to also make a choice to change your perspective on winter safety”—Program Founder and Director, Tammie Budrow.

What Our Community Says About Chill Out for Winter Safety
“I am a single mom with 3 kids. They all have bicycle helmets, but I couldn’t afford winter helmets for them too. Thank you!”
“These kids learn that wearing a helmet while skiing is just as important as buckling their seat belt when in a car. There is no doubt that this program prevents injuries and saves lives."
“My child took notes on the four things to remember and was humming the song for a few days. It helped reiterate what I tell her and taught us both something new!”
