  1. Pediatric Trauma Program (PTP)

  2. Facts • Unintentional injury is the #1 killer of children age 14 and under in the U.S. • Unintentional injury kills more children every year than any other cause - including disease, homicide and suicide! • 90% of these unintentional injuries can be prevented • However … • These injuries CAN be prevented!

  3. What is PTP? • Accidental injury is the leading cause of death (40%) among children under the age of 15 • As much as 90% of these injuries can be easily prevented • Common reasons for severe injuries include biking accidents, faulty car booster seats, domestic dangers, playground injuries, and drowning accidents • These accidents result from a lack of proper equipment; devices designed for children do not necessarily work for children • Lack of education about child safety in both the affected children and adult professionals make the treatment more difficult

  4. Participating Foundations • Recognizing the need to decrease the chances of accidental deaths among children, the Kiwanis Cali-Nev-Ha Foundation created the PTP Program in 1994 • PTP pairs up with hospitals around our district to facilitate relations between the Kiwanis Family and the medical field • Children's Hospital and Health Center San Diego • Children's Hospital and Research Center at Oakland • Children's Hospital Central California

  5. Programs and Projects • Purchase much needed pediatric medical equipment such as immobilization boards, incubators and blood pressure gauges • To create or expand community outreach programs that teach the community about the importance of seat belts, helmets, and playground safety etc • PTP creates and funds programs to: • Train pediatric doctors, nurses and first responders to specialize in child care

  6. Financial Distribution • Donations for PTP are spent in 3 major areas: • Grants to our partner hospitals-used to fund and create programs to teach staff to specialize in child care • Grants to Kiwanis and Service Leadership Program clubs-used to fund Key Club PTP service projects • PTP safety items- to buy safety items such as helmets, electric outlet covers, and child ID kits; these safety items are then sold by the Kiwanis Family at a subsidized cost

  7. Sample Events • Key Club can help prevent unintentional injuries by sponsoring a service project on topics such as: • Bicycle Safety • Booster Seats • Child Abuse Prevention • Child Safety • Children's Miracle Network • Fire Prevention • First Aid and CPR • Home Safety • Immunizations • Injury Prevention • Playground Safety • Poison Prevention, • Shaken Baby Syndrome • Smoking Awareness • Water Safety • Car washes • Restaurant fundraisers • Talent Shows • Awake-A-Thons • Bake Sales • Dances • Movie Nights • What are some other ideas?

  8. Grants for PTP • Established to assist SLP clubs in financing PTP service projects on a start up basis • PTP grants are for new PTP projectsonly • Grant funding is limited to 50% of the total project cost, up to $250 per grant

How to Apply • Complete the SLP - PTP grant application and include the following: • An estimate of service hours committed to the project • Date when funds are required • A copy of the club’s current year Community Service Budget (if available) • A project budget including club funds committed, “in-kind” donations, and other sources of outside funding
