Gulliver Prep Student Receives Proclamation From City of Miami for Baby Heatstroke Campaign

6/8/17

Gulliver is proud to announce that student Kelly Ann Cosentino '19, received a proclamation in recognition of her civic commitment and activities as an activist for educating people on the dangers of baby heat stroke. During today's city commission meeting at Miami City Hall, Mayor Tomas Regalado established June 8, 2017 as "Kelly Ann Cosentino and Baby Heat Stroke Institute Day in The City of Miami." This recognition is equivalent to the Keys of the City.

"It is a great honor for me to receive this distinction," said Kelly Ann. "Seven hundred and five (705) infants in the United States have died of heat stroke since 1998 after being left alone in a hot car and as summer approaches, my desire is to prevent as many deaths as possible just by continuing to educate people on the dangers of baby heat stroke."

After watching many devastating news stories about babies forgotten in the backseats of cars and dying of heat stroke, Kelly Ann knew she wanted to help. With her own funding, she founded the Baby Heat Stroke Institute, created www.babyheatstroke.org, designed rear-view mirror hangtags, that are available free-of-charge for anyone who requests one on her website and serve to remind drivers of children in the backseat. Her website features videos, statistics on the history of heat stroke, information on related laws, as well as details of her community service work promoting the initiative locally around retail stories and other public places.
