Safe Kids Kansas Inc., is a Coalition of over
70 statewide and regional organizations and businesses dedicated to preventing unintentional
injuries to Kansas children ages 0-14. Unfortunately, preventable injury
remains the leading killer of Kansas children ages 1-14, taking more
lives than any other cause including diseases, homicide and suicide.
This year, one child in four will suffer a preventable injury that is
serious enough to require medical attention. Safe Kids Kansas is a 501c(3)
charitable organization and is a member of Safe Kids Worldwide. The designated lead agency for Safe Kids Kansas is the Kansas
Department of Health and Environment.
Safe Kids Kansas is grateful for the support of our 20th anniversary event sponsors
