Kohl's Cares for Kids
Kohl's has been partnering with hospitals across the country to help make a difference in the community as well as in the lives of children. Kohl's Care for Kids creates merchandise focused on kids for $5! Through the sale of the merchandise, 100 percent of the net profits are donated to hospitals to support health and educational opportunities for children.
St. Alexius Medical Center is proud to be the chosen children's hospital of the area. The Kohl's gift allows the children's department to continue organizing and hosting Children's Fun & Health Day and Summer Fun and Safety Day.
Children's Fun & Health Day
About 700 area 2nd grade students attend the event to learn about poison prevention and safety, stranger awareness, fire safety, nutrition education, backpack safety and ATV safety. The focus of the day is to reach out to students and provide an entertaining way to learn about safety topics.
Summer Fun & Safety Day (SFSD)
SFSD brings together over 1,000 area 1st and 3rd grade students along with many area businesses to provide hands-on education about summer safety issues. Students will rotate through booths that give them information about bicycle safety, how to detect a fire, oral hygiene, physical fitness, being drug and smoke free, summer weather safety, and riding the bus/transit system, to name a few.
Students have a chance to interact with their class, teachers, volunteers and businesses in learning tips that will help them enjoy healthy summers.
