Representatives from Kohl’s Department Stores and Kohl’s injury prevention team members presented Miller Children’s Hospital Long Beach with $200,692 to continue the Kohl’s Keeping Kids Safe Program at Miller Children’s Hospital Long Beach. The Kohl’s Keeping Kids Safe Program was established to expand the childhood safety programs of Miller Children’s further into the community and help to educate and keep kids safe.
Since 2010, Kohl’s has donated more than $600,000 to Miller Children’s. This year’s grant will help sustain the Kohl’s Keeping Kids Safe Program, a safety initiative emphasizing injury prevention and expanding childhood safety programs in the local communities of Long Beach, the South Bay and North Orange County.
“We are so thankful for the generous support from Kohl’s Department Stores. This donation will help to purchase car seats and helmets for our patients and families,” says Danny Luna, injury prevention coordinator, Miller Children’s Hospital Long Beach.
The presentation of the Kohl’s donation kicked-off the inaugural Miller Children’s walk, iWalk…for Kids, with local community, friends and family to support the critical programs, services and research initiatives of Miller Children’s. There was no more fitting announcement of this safety program development than a walk designed in the spirit of prevention, wellness and keeping kids out of the hospital.
“The expansion and advancement of critical programs and treatments depend upon events like iWalk…for Kids and the generous donation for Kohl’s Department Stores that give Miller Children’s the funding and ability to provide life-saving care to our pediatric patients,” says Suzie Reinsvold, Chief Operating Officer, Miller Children’s Hospital Long Beach.
