Kohl’s Helps Keep Kids Safe While on the Go

Whenever and wherever kids are on the move—on bikes, on skates, in cars—the possibility of injury, even serious injury, is lurking
just around the corner.

Parents don’t always know the best ways to keep their kids safe, and that’s why the Injury Prevention Center (IPC) at Hasbro Children’s Hospital has teamed with Kohl’s Cares to offer a range of safety activities in the community throughout the year. This is thanks to the longstanding generosity of the Kohl’s Cares program, including a recent grant of more than $189,000.

In 2000, Kohl’s introduced Kohl’s Cares to reinforce its commitment to children’s health and education. Through the sale of special plush toys, books, CDs and cookbooks, Kohl’s donates 100 percent of the net profits to more than 160 hospital partners nationwide, including Hasbro Children’s Hospital. Since its introduction, the program has raised more than $180 million.

“A properly used child restraint can reduce the risk of death or severe injury by as much as 70 percent.” - Dina Morrissey, MD, MPH, the Injury Prevention Center’s program coordinator

Recently, the Kohl’s Cares Kids on the Go program and the IPC offered free bike safety rodeo events at Kohl’s stores and other locations; experts checked children’s helmets for proper fit while volunteers from Narragansett Bikes performed bicycle mechanical safety checks. Local police taught the rules of the road on a chalk course.

Kohl’s and the IPC are active partners in car seat safety. Motor vehicle crashes remain the leading cause of death for children under 14, which is why the IPC emphasizes the importance of using the appropriate child restraints and making sure they are correctly installed in vehicles. The Kohl’s Cares Kids on the Go program and the IPC organize a number of car seat events throughout the year at Kohl’s stores and other locations across Rhode Island. Throughout the year, the IPC distributes and installs more than 500 new car seats to lower-income families, thanks to the Kohl’s Cares program.

“Among all of the outreach and supporters of the IPC and its programs, Kohl’s stands out because of the depth of its commitment to Hasbro Children’s Hospital year after year,” says Dina Morrissey, MD, MPH, the IPC’s program coordinator. “Kohl’s truly cares for the children and families of Rhode Island and southeastern Massachusetts.”
