Every year, more children in Sacramento die or are permanently disabled from injuries than from any other disease or illness.  Like many childhood illnesses that are prevented through the use of vaccinations, injuries to children can also be prevented by educating parents and children on how to increase safety in every day life.

The Trauma Prevention Program is committed to improving the safety of children in our area through collaboration with community partners.  Through our Kohl's Buckle Up to Grow Up program, we work with local schools, community centers and other organizations to provide safety education and resources vital to the wellbeing of their children. 

The Kohl's Buckle Up to Grow Up program is a comprehensive safety program promoting community based sustainable injury prevention.  Funded by the Kohl's Cares for Kids foundation, this program is a successful community outreach partnership between Kohl's and the UC Davis Children's Hospital.
