The northern Michigan Kohl’s 4 Season Safety Program will receive a $49,380 donation from Kohl’s Cares this year.The safety program educates area children and parents about head injury prevention and concussion awareness during winter and summer activities such as sledding, skiing, biking, and sports.

Since 2006, Kohl’s Cares has donated $416,875 to Munson Healthcare efforts to promote the health and safety of area children. The check represents last year’s profit from the sales of Kohl’s Cares book and plush sets at its Traverse City and Gaylord stores.

Munson Trauma Services educator Jennifer Ritter said Kohl’s funds have enabled the program to distribute hundreds of helmets and other giveaway items to area youth and students, and more than 4,000 students have been reached through the safety program. “We continue to appreciate Kohl’s support for our efforts to help promote safe activities for area kids,” she said.
