Save the Date: Workers’ Memorial Day

Each year, April 28 is Workers’ Memorial Day, an international day of mourning and remembrance for workers who have been killed or seriously injured at work. Year-round, Kids’ Chance state organizations provide scholarships to children of workers who have been seriously or fatally injured on the job.

Kids’ Chance plans to observe this day in honor of the families we serve. Visit our website to learn more and to download our media kit. The Arizona Chapter of ASSP is a proud supporter of Kids’ Chance Arizona. Join us in recognizing the impact that a workplace fatality/serious injury has on the families of those hurt while working.
