Recipients of KVC’s Annual Hero Award

When KVC Health Systems celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2010, we recognized 40 heroes. These are individuals, couples or organizations who have made a tremendous difference in KVC Health Systems’ evolution and in the lives of children and families.

Become an Everyday Hero Today!

At KVC, we have the honor of working with Everyday Heroes.

We realize it takes a special calling to become a foster parent, to adopt a child, or to care for a child with mental health challenges. Nevertheless, many of us would still like to reach out to these children and the families who step forward to care for them.

You can be an Everyday Hero, too. KVC’s Everyday Heroes monthly giving program supports children and families by increasing available resources and services. This could be anything from piano lessons for a grade-schooler, to board games and books for children in residential treatment at our psychiatric hospitals, to special medical equipment. The money will be used for mental health counseling, adoption services, tutoring, summer camp, after-school activities, orthodontic care and so much more.

When you become an Everyday Hero, you will be giving your love, support and care to children and families. Enrollment is simple. Just go to www.everydayhero.org or call 913.322.4941 for more information.
