Howard Peden Jefferson Award Kids from every county in Kentucky and southern Indiana are helped by Kosair Charities. Our direct and indirect support of Kosair Children's Hospital assures a vital resource for kids from throughout Kentucky and southern Indiana who are really sick or injured. Kosair Children's Hospital is considered one of the ten best children's hospitals in America.
Kids also benefit from our free transportation vans.
Shrine volunteers man these vans. They transport kids to hospitals for their post-hospital care as needed. Kosair Charities pays for the vans and all operating expenses. Through the Stranger Safety Program funded by Kosair Charities, kids in schools throughout Kentucky are informed of the need to be aware of personal safety. They are taught important skills to aid them in avoiding dangerous situations.
