It seems to me time has been flying and it’s almost time to “fall back” and change our clocks back from Daylight Saving Time. This year the time change is official on November 4 at 2 am.
This also marks the 25th anniversary of the annual Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® program which I very strongly believe in and encourage!
Energizer and the International Association of Fire Chiefs (IAFC) are once again working with local fire departments nationwide to raise awareness on the importance of working smoke alarms and carbon monoxide detectors in helping to keep families safe in their homes.
Did you know that:

| Cal Ripken Jr. helping neighborhood fire officials in Chicago distribute Family Safety Kits |
Energizer is honoring its 25th year by donating 250,000 batteries to fire departments across the country to distribute to local families in their areas and adopting 25 fire departments in 25 cities across the nation, who, in addition to batteries, will be equipped with a variety of Energizer® family safety products for their department and to share in their communities. Together, they will host Home Safety Days and neighborhood canvasses spanning throughout National Fire Prevention Month in October until the end of daylight saving time on Sunday, Nov. 4.
Win a Family Safety Kit from Energizer on Facebook!
Now, through the end of the day November 4, visit the Energizer Bunny® Facebook page and click on the Fire Safety Info Tab. Here you will have the chance to enter a sweepstakes to win a Family Safety Kit.
