Pediatric Trauma Program Ensuring all children live happy, healthy and safe lives. To develop local projects, which will reduce the number of children in our District who are killed or injured by trauma. Recognizing the serious need for education and training in the areas of pediatric trauma and injury prevention, the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation established the Pediatric Trauma Program in 1994. The mission of our PTP program is simple: Develop local projects, which will reduce the number of children in our District who are killed or injured by trauma. Notice I used the word “trauma” not “accident” – we’ll get back to this in a minute.

9,000 225,000 9,000,000 Number of children who die annually Number of children hospitalized annually 9,000,000 So why Pediatric Trauma? Out of all of the worthy programs available, why would the Foundation select Pediatric Trauma as its major focus? Well . . . Unintentional injury remains the #1 killer of children age 14 and under in the U.S. Each year in the U.S., 9,000 families lose a child because of a preventable injury 225K are hospitalized for their injuries and nearly 9M are treated in EDs But I believe the reason the Foundation selected PTP as our major focus is because 90% of these injuries could be prevented through education, awareness and enforcement of laws and regulations. Number of children treated in EDs annually

Enhancing and furthering the efforts of our clubs Grantmaking Enhancing and furthering the efforts of our clubs For new service projects which seek to prevent and/or treat pediatric trauma – defined as sudden, unintentional physical injury. Each year, the Foundation awards thousands of dollars in grant funds to the clubs and divisions within our District.
