Program areas at Knox Blocks Foundation

Knox Blocks is partnered with owlet baby care providing a health and wellness monitor to families across the country. As the infant wears the owlet while they sleep it provides parents with peace of mind. Knox Blocks has provided over 8,000 monitors to families in all 50 states. Today there is still no cure or full understanding of sids (sudden infant death syndrome). We are passionate about finding the end to sids. We work closely with robert's project out of boston children's hospital to help provide funding for their research. We believe this incredible team of world's best researchers, doctors and scientists will one day find the answers and the ending to sids.
Every year wehold our annual nursery of hope. We provide infant loss families with a tree to plant in honor of their little one that left this world too soon. We have created a little forest in memory of these angels at hickory hills park in Iowa. We provide this special day and place at no cost to the families. To date we have over 100 trees planted in honor of these babies.
Knowing 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.
