There is nothing more tragic than the preventable death of a baby or young child. Thats why we have made childrens injury prevention a top priority. Sleep-related death is a leading cause of mortality among babies less than a year old. Detroit and Pontiac both have high infant death rates. From 2010 to 2015, Detroit alone recorded 167 such deaths.

The Childrens Foundation supports programs such as Safe Baby Academy, an infant safety and sleep education program for pregnant women and caregivers.
