Kohl’s and CHLA share a common conviction: Prevention education
can break the pattern of unintentional injury. Combining
instruction with raising awareness, Kohl’s and CHLA have
collaborated to promote the importance of utilizing proper safety
techniques indoors and outdoors to save the lives of children and
reduce unintentional injuries.
“I’m very proud of the longtime commitment Kohl’s has made to
CHLA’s injury prevention program,” says Jeffrey Upperman, MD,
CHLA’s Trauma Program director. “This donation is very much
appreciated because it allows CHLA to continue to provide ongoing
educational services to our patient families and members of our
community to reduce preventable injuries and death to
children.”
Since 2004, Kohl’s has donated more than $4.3 million to CHLA
and its initiatives.
Kohl’s commitment to Children’s Hospital Los Angeles is made
possible through the Kohl’s Cares cause merchandise program.
Through this initiative, Kohl’s sells $5 books and plush toys where
100 percent of net profit benefits children’s health initiatives
nationwide, including hospital partnerships like this one.
The annual educational fair that was held at Kohl’s storefront
in Northridge taught children and families a variety of safety tips
to protect families during sports activities, in cars, as
pedestrians and in the home. At the event, Kohl’s offered families
inspections of their car seats by certified car seat technicians
and some even received a free replacement car seat. Participants
were reminded that on January 1, 2017, a new state law goes into
effect stating that children under two years old must be in a
rear-facing car seat unless they weigh 40 pounds or more, or are at
least 40 inches tall.
“Car seat safety is an ongoing area of concern and we at CHLA
are committed to showing families that a few minutes of their time
learning how to properly install a child’s car seat can mean the
difference between life and death for their child in the event of a
collision,” says Helen Arbogast, MPH, CHES, CPSTI, manager of
CHLA’s Injury Prevention and Trauma Program.
