The Foundation’s partnership with children’s hospitals in Oakland, San Diego, Loma Linda, Madera, Honolulu and Reno connect the Kiwanis family to the issue of pediatric trauma.
Utilizing the knowledge and expertise of our partner hospitals, the Foundation identifies projects the Kiwanis family can undertake to address the issue of pediatric trauma within their own communities.
In return, the Foundation annually invites our six partner hospitals to apply for a grant for unfunded needs directly related to pediatric trauma. These grants enable our partner hospitals to reach out to their communities with educational materials, safety equipment and information on childhood trauma prevention; offer advanced pediatric training for doctors, nurses and first responders; and purchase specialized pediatric medical equipment.
