KIWANIS DISTRICT PROJECT: THE KIWANIS PEDIATRIC TRAUMA INSTITUTE (KPTI)

In 1994 the Kiwanians of our District entered into a joint venture with The Children's Hospital in Denver to create KPTI. Adopted at a district convention, KPTI is a service project of the Rocky Mountain District of Kiwanis International.

KPTI advances the prevention of traumatic injury to children through education programs and improves the survival of children who become trauma victims.

Kiwanis provides funds to support programs and research, not patient care or facilities.

KPTI is recognized nationally for the impact it is having in the Rocky Mountain region.
