The Pediatric Trauma Program was established by the Kiwanis Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation in 1994 after recognizing the serious need for education and training in pediatric trauma and injury prevention. The purpose of this program 

is to develop local service projects to educate people of children’s safety to decrease the number of children who are severely injured or killed due to traumatic unintentional injuries. The Kiwanis Foundation is furthering the program’s mission by establishing partnerships with hospitals in the areas of Oakland, San Diego, Loma Linda, Madera, Honolulu, and Reno. 

The Pediatric Trauma Program funds the training of pediatric doctors, nurses and first responders, the purchase of specialized pediatric medical equipment, and the development of community outreach. The Pediatric Trauma Program is heavily supported through the generous donations towards the Pediatric Trauma Program from clubs and members of the Kiwanis Family, and the donations go towards grants to partnered hospitals, grants to Kiwanis and 
Service Leadership Program clubs, and PTP safety items. The Cal-Nev-Ha Foundation is currently seeking to strengthen the program and hoping to expand to other areas, partner with more hospitals, and greatly reduce the 
devastating harm of severe unintentional injuries.
