Supplemental Narrative

Additional Explanations

Form 990, Page 2, Part III, Line 4D

“In partnership with many other organizations and parent-led nonprofits from around the world, knox blocks foundation plans to raise money during the month of october in honor of sids awareness month to help dr. Harrington continue her groundbreaking research. Last year, dr. Harrington made a breakthrough in her research. Her lab identified that the enzyme butyrylcholinesterase was significantly lower in babies who died of sids. We need your help to fund the next phase of her teams research which will focus on identifying more biomarkers that will enable us to know which babies are indeed at a higher risk of sids, opening new avenues for research into specific interventions. The next phase of her research could change the course of the more than 3,000 families who are impacted by sids each year.”

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0KNOWING HOW IMPORTANT IT IS TO HAVE EYES ON YOUR INFANT AT ALL TIMES WE ALSO KNOW THIS ISN'T POSSIBLE. ESPECIALLY IN A DAYCARE ENVIRONMENT. BECAUSE OF THIS WE HAVE LAUNCHED THE GREEN GLOW PROJECT, PROVIDING ALL LICENSED AND REGISTERED DAYCARE CENTERS AND IN-HOME PROVIDERS WITH OWLETS FOR ALL INFANTS IN THEIR CARE IN THE STATE OF IOWA. WE CURRENTLY HAVE OWLETS PLACED IN HALF THE COUNTIES IN IOWA AND 600 INFANTS ARE BEING MONITOREDWHILE THEY SLEEP EACH DAY.
