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.
