Safe Mobility Project

In March 2016, Akron Children's Hospital was awarded a $500,000 grant from the Goodyear Foundation to establish the Safe Mobility Project. Over the next three years, the Safe Mobility Project will educate and empower families to engage in safe behaviors through various efforts aimed at child passenger safety, bicycle safety and teen driving safety. From a baby's first ride home in an infant car seat, to a child's first bicycle, to the moment a teen is handed the car keys, the Safe Mobility Project aims to keep the children of Summit County safe and free from injury across the whole span of childhood.

Heart Walk – American Heart Association

Akron Children’s employees actively participate in a wide array of events aimed at improving the health and well-being of the community. Each year several teams of employees join in the local Heart Walks in Greater Akron and the Mahoning Valley, benefiting the American Heart Association.
