Kohl's Keeps Kids Safe
Kohl's Department Stores, through its Kohl's Cares® program, has been a partner of Vermont Children's Hospital, at Fletcher Allen Health Care, since 2004. Kohl's annual funding is made possible through the sales of $5 plush characters and books in the Burlington Kohl's at the University Mall. All of the proceeds net profit from these items are donated to Vermont Children's Hospital to support programs to keep children in our community healthy and safe.
To date, the Kohl's Cares® program has raised $145,281 for the VT Children's Hospital to take injury prevention programming into the community. This year's grant is helping bring the Bike Smart training program to schools throughout the county and helping get bike helmets to kids in who need them. Learn more about the Bike Smart Program.
Please consider purchasing these high-quality items for your family, friends, and for donation this holiday and all year long. The items for purchase change up to four times a year. Click here for information.
Just think, for $5 you can have a gift to give/donate and help toward the health and safety of the children in our community. Kohl's and VT Children's Hospital at Fletcher Allen partner together to keep kids safe. For more information about this program, please call 802-847-2278.
