The "If You Give..." books and the plush toys are the newest offering from the Kohl's Cares for Kids® program. Through the Kohl's Cares for Kids® program, Kohl's gives 100 percent of the net profit from the sale of the books and plush toys to benefit children's health and education initiatives nationwide. Since the program's inception in 2000, Kohl's has turned $5 merchandise into more than $126 million to help make a positive difference in the lives of children.

Over the past four years, Kohl's Cares for Kids® has given more than $200,000 to support Safe Kids Northeast Florida and the Kohl's Gear Up 4 Safety program. This children's injury prevention program focuses on four leading causes of injuries in children in the Greater Jacksonville area and provides equipment and education to parents and children to help prevent those injuries.

"Keeping kids injury-free and out of the emergency room is a priority of Wolfson Children's Hospital," says Larry Freeman, Administrator. "We are grateful for the Kohl's Cares for Kids philanthropic program for providing the grant that funds the community safety programs implemented by Safe Kids Northeast Florida."

"If You Give a Mouse a Cookie," was published in 1985 and launched the "If You Give..." series, which have become children's favorites. The stories feature a comedic chain of events and use playful language along with engaging illustrations that make them an enjoyable read for both children and adults.
