The Loveland Kiwanis Club, of the Rocky Mountain District of Kiwanis International is a non-profit organization. Through the sale of dedicated bronze sculptures created by Loveland area artisans, we plan to support the "Kiwanis Commitment to Children" campaign to improve the survival and quality of life of children who become trauma victims. The Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Institute is a program, not a hospital, and its headquarters just happens to be located in Denver, the heart of the Rocky Mountain District. It exists for all of the Rocky Mountain region--Colorado, Wyoming and Nebraska panhandle. Donations go to those programs which have been developed for injured children in every town in the Rocky Mountain area. All of these programs are meant to improve quality pediatric care as close to home as possible. Portions of donated money will come back to communities in the form of injury prevention programs; training-- such as pediatric emergency-care courses and seminars for pre-hospital personnel (EMT and paramedics), doctors, teachers, child care providers and community members at-large; and from research into new methods of helping critically injured children. A gift to KPTI is like buying an insurance policy on children's lives in each of our communities. When you need KPTI, it will be there."
