ASK Day is a national day to focus on the lifesaving message of the ASK (Asking Saves Kids) campaign. ASK Day will take place on on the first day of summer, a time of year when children play more often in other homes. Parents ask all sorts of questions to protect their children when they go play at the home of a friend, neighbor or relative.
