    About Us

    “999” is a law enforcement radio code that means “Officer needs emergency help.” In this case it’s not a reference to an officer in need, but to children in need. 999 for Kids profoundly changes children’s lives. Read More

About 999 for Kids

999 for Kids was created in 1985 through a joint effort of the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and the County’s Department of Children and Family Services. The two county agencies began working together after they recognized a need to help physically and mentally challenged children who are medically vulnerable or are victims of the most severe cases of child abuse, neglect and family violence.

The program raises money to purchase special items and services for these children, including sport wheelchairs, computers, special education classes, medically oriented toys and games. The funds send children to summer camps for the deaf, the blind and those with other medical issues who would not otherwise have such positive experiences.
