Pediatric Trauma Prevention 

KIWIN'S Minor Emphasis

What is Pediatric Trauma?

Pediatric Trauma affects children from infancy to age nineteen. 
It is a result of motor vehicle accidents, physical abuse, drowning 
accidents, falls, and animal bites, making it the leading cause of 
death of children in the United States. Every year it results in sixteen 
million emergency visits and twenty thousand deaths. To prevent 
these accidents and injuries from happening, KIWIN'S has focused on
fighting Pediatric Trauma through raising funds and by increasing 
general awareness through education. Established in 1992, Pediatric
Trauma Prevention is a main focus of KIWIN'S in conjunction with 
California-Nevada-Hawaii Kiwanis.
