Kohl’s Gift Helps Magnify
Local Pediatricians’ Power
 Saturday,
June 3, 2006
Area Kohl's stores sent A-Teams, or groups of five
volunteers, to help staff the "10th
Annual Stroll for Strong Kids", at Genesee Valley Park,
Rochester.
Kohl's department store chain made a $57,537 donation
to the hospital's Pediatric Links with the Community program, which
helps to promote the health of kids on a community level, putting
resident pediatricians to work with community-based organizations,
not just in the doctor's office.
ABOUT KOHL'S CARES FOR KIDS*
- Kohl's commitment to [hospital] is made possible through the
Kohl's Cares for Kids* program, which raises funds for children's
health and educational opportunities across the country through
the sale of special gift items. One hundred percent of the net
profits from the sale of these items support children's health
and educational opportunities in the market areas served by Kohl's.
- The gift supports the Pediatric Links with the Community Program,
which prompts pediatricians to go beyond their offices and collaborate
with community organizations, making a powerful difference in
the health of local kids.
- Kohl's introduced the Kohl's Cares for Kids* program
to reinforce its commitment to the communities it serves and to
promote children's health and educational opportunities. Over
the last 2 years, Kohl's has donated more than $82,000 to Golisano
Children's Hospital at Strong through the Kohl's Cares for Kids*
program.
