EnvistaCares Challenge Highlights Safe Kids Kansas

Envista Credit Union is pleased to announce that it will highlight Safe Kids Kansas, Inc. through the EnvistaCares Challenge during the month of May. The EnvistaCaresChallenge includes a $2,500 challenge grant and an in-kind gift of marketing, promotions and media valued at more than $12,000, and a personalized video of their organization.

Safe Kids Kansas is a non-profit coalition of partners and local coalitions dedicated to preventing childhood injury. Each year one out of four children needs medical attention due to unintentional injury. The good news is most of these injuries are preventable and Safe Kids Kansas works across the state to reduce these risks.

“The EnvistaCares Challenge and this community are helping Safe Kids Kansas to reach even more families with our mission to protect children from serious injuries. Preventable injuries are fortunately just that…preventable. But it takes outreach and programs to make that happen,” said Cherie Safe, state coordinator for Safe Kids Kansas. “These funds help our coalition to ensure that every kid has the chance to grow up a safe kid.”

Through the challenge grant, Envista will match every dollar given to the Safe Kids Kansas during the month of May up to $2,500. Giving can be done online at www.envistacares.com. The media package provided by Envista to Safe Kids Kansas includes a month of promotion through billboards, emails, social media and radio. Finally, Envista supports the production of a video for Safe Kids Kansas to use to share their message and encourage members of the community to not only give, but to join in and consider becoming a partner.

“Safe Kids Kansas implements proven, effective and innovative programs that increase safety for children in our communities across Kansas,” said Tara Dimick, chief business development officer for Envista. “We are honored Envista to support their efforts.”
