Kiwanis clubs donate $100,000 to children’s medical center
Members of Kiwanis International have found a unique way to celebrate the upcoming 100th anniversary of their service organization. They donated $100,000 to the Steven and Alexandra Cohen Children’s Medical Center on Long Island. Brooklyn Kiwanis clubs were among those who helped raise the funds that were donated.
The $100,000 check was presented to medical center representatives by leaders of the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center Foundation, a group formed to provide funding and support for the health care facility.
The donated funds will be used to purchase diagnostic and treatment tools appropriate for the size of a child and to create special trauma education programs specifically geared to emergency medical service personnel, according to Kiwanis members.
