Safe Kids Washington and Washington’s Child Passenger Safety Program today announced this year’s recipients of the 2020 Child Injury Prevention Awards, including Amara, a Tacoma-based child welfare organization. The award honors individuals or organizations for outstanding work in keeping children safe from injury. Each year nearly 3,000 Washington children age 0-19 are seriously injured or die due to preventable injuries.
“Washington has many heroes working across the state to make sure communities and families have the information and resources they need to keep our children safe and healthy,” said Will Hitchcock, with the Washington State Department of Health. “This year’s honorees exemplify the work that goes on community to community, that saves and protects our children.”
