KENTUCKY Kosiar Charities Face It Movement continues to grow in partnership and work.
Since 1923, Kosair Charities has helped children reach their potential while overcoming their obstacles. The organization s mission is to enhance the health and well-being of children by delivering financial support for healthcare, research, education, social services and child advocacy. This is realized in part through Kosair s Gifts & Grants Program. We committed a million dollars a year to it, but we ve gotten into it and we understand this, this is a multi-million dollar problem to fix it. So contributions from the public are very important to us and, and, in fact, we can t ever be successful, unless we increase our funding on this, so that means we need more donations to do that, explained Keith Inman, president of Kosair Charities.
