Have Fun in the Sun this Summer with the Summer Safety #RT2Win Sweepstakes!

The school year has come to an end, and with it comes the start of summer! For many, this time of year brings excitement and anticipation to jet-set off to their favorite destinations and spend some quality time with family.
