SAFE KIDS
Soon after becoming Oregon’s First Lady in 1995, Sharon Kitzhaber established an Oregon Chapter of the National SAFE KIDS Coalition. The National SAFE KIDS Campaign is the first and only national organization dedicated solely to the prevention of unintentional childhood injury - the number one killer of children ages 14 and under.
The Oregon Chapter of SAFE KIDS raises awareness, builds long-term grassroots coalitions for childhood injury prevention strategies statewide and in local communities, and works to change adult and child behavior, products and the environment to reduce childhood injury.
Mrs. Kitzhaber serves as Honorary Chair of the Oregon SAFE KIDS Coalition.
