These serious work-related accidents can have a devastating effect on families, especially children. Already overwhelmed with difficult emotions, these children must now confront the hurdle of funding their own education.

Kids' Chance's mission is to fulfill the dreams of these children and help them reach their potential by providing them with educational scholarships, so that they can pursue their dreams of graduating from various institutions of higher education.

Kids' Chance believes that through our work, we can make a significant difference in the lives of all children affected by a workplace injury by helping them pursue and achieve their education goals.

If not for our help, the majority of Kids' Chance scholarship recipients would not have access to post-secondary education.

Year after year, we have watched Kids' Chance scholarship students from all over the United States graduate from various institutions of higher education and elect to continue their education or begin rewarding careers.

Kids' Chance's investment in these students' education has ensured that they have the necessary skills to be successful in the workplace. Most importantly, they have been given the tools to make a difference in their own and other people's lives.

Kids' Chance is a § 501(c)(3) organization that was created for the purpose of creating, assisting and supporting Kids' Chance organizations throughout the United States and other similar programs that provide educational opportunities and scholarships for the children of workers seriously injured or killed on the job.
