Johns Hopkins Bayview Medical Center will receive more than $81,000 from the Kohl’s Cares for Kids® philanthropic initiative. An official check presentation will take place on June 22 at the Medical Center’s Annual C.R. Bard, Inc. Golf Classic at Hayfields Country Club. The donation is result of the Kohl’s Cares for Kids® merchandise program, which features $5 books and plus toys. 100 percent of the program’s net profits support hospital partnerships.
Johns Hopkins Bayview will use this generous donation to fund its “Kids Care First Aid Kits,” which will be available at the following locations:
- Johns Hopkins Bayview Care-A-Van: a mobile medical unit that provides health care to residents who do not have a regular source of medical care
- Stork’s Nest: an incentive program for low-income mothers that provides an array of baby needs, such as diapers, formula and clothing
- Community health fairs: community outreach that raises awareness about good health and safety practices
Nationally, Kohl’s Cares for Kids® benefits nearly 160 hospitals. Through 2008, Kohl’s has raised more than $126 million through its merchandise program.
