Our 2026 Honoree
Helmet Heroes
In memory of Dr. Barbara Friedes, PATHS for Barbara is dedicated to advocacy and the promotion of evidence-based principles that ultimately reduce injuries and fatalities resulting from traffic violence and preventable crashes. PATHS' work is grounded in principles of violence prevention. PATHS strives to create meaningful change that results in zero pedestrian and cyclist deaths and serious injuries in Philadelphia, with a specific focus on the areas surrounding CHOP and the University of Pennsylvania.
Helmet Heroes, a subgroup of the PATHS for Barbara coalition, advocates for child bike safety, including promoting helmet safety and education through policies endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and by distributing helmets in CHOP’s primary care clinics.
