Kempe
Children’s Foundation |
Headquartered
in Denver, Colorado, The Kempe Foundation’s mission
is increase awareness, engage in advocacy and secure
and provide more resources for the work of The Kempe
Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child
Abuse and Neglect in Colorado and the nation.
The Kempe Center is a living legacy to a brilliant
researcher, teacher and prominent pediatrician, Dr.
C. Henry Kempe, who became America’s foremost
pioneer in child abuse and neglect.
The Kempe Center specializes in nine innovative
programs that treat abused children (from birth to
age 18), trains medical professionals and researches
new methods to prevent child abuse and neglect. Last
year Kempe treated 1,500 children and their families
and trained more than 2,500 professionals across the
country. From our Therapeutic Preschool, to our
mentoring program, to our Postpartum Depression
Intervention Program, Kempe has been helping
children reclaim their lives for more than 40 years.

Kappa Kappa Iota proudly sponsors the foundation as
its National Philanthropic Project. In the last 3
years, Kappa members have contributed nearly $10,000
to this endeavor. Donations received from National,
Local, Council, and State Conclaves, as well as
individual members, all help to improve the lives of
abused children and to prevent others from being
maltreated.

OTHER
PHILANTHROPIC ENDEAVORS |
| While the
Kempe Center is the designated National
Philanthropic Project, Kappas across the United
States support a variety of additional causes in
their communities to better the lives of children
everywhere. For example, members of Alpha Conclave
in OH help support a summer camp through Akron
Children's Hospital. Camp C.H.O.P.S. (Children's
Hematology and Oncology Patients and Staff) is a
weekend experience for children with leukemia,
sickle-cell anemia, hemophilia, and other blood
disorders. |
