Why PTP?

• Unintentional injury remains the 1 killer of
  children age 14 and under in the U.S.
• Unintentional injury kills more kids every year
  than any other cause including disease,
  homicide and suicide!

  annually!

How Do We Address These Needs?

• The Foundations partnership with six childrens
  hospitals connects the Kiwanis family to the
