Children to receive fire safety tips at Kids Day

Chiropractor Babak Shahrestani will sponsor Costa Mesa’s celebration of the 13th annual Kids Day America/International, a health, safety and environmental awareness day.

From noon to 3 p.m. Sept. 22 at Shahrestani’s office, 2328 Newport Blvd., Costa Mesa, the chiropractor’s staff will issue special ID cards for every child, as Costa Mesa police and fire officials provide free fingerprinting and fire safety tips for the kids.

Shahrestani will also offer free health screenings.

Money is also being raised for Cargo of Dreams, an international nonprofit that uses large shipping containers to help build schools and health offices in impoverished areas worldwide.

There will be free balloons for the kids, and special giveaways and a free prize drawing every half hour.
