“Kids’ Chance of Florida is honored to partner with WCI for the third year in a row. The 3rd Annual Kids’ Chance Golf Tournament of course includes a great day spent with industry colleagues at the fantastic Marriott Hawk’s Landing course, but it also allows our participants to make a real impact on the lives of so many deserving young people seeking to achieve their educational dreams. We all know how challenging it is these days to fund a college education. Imagine what it is like for a family where mom or dad has suffered a workplace injury that limits, or even completely eliminates their ability to provide for their families? I urge you to join us as a player, a sponsor, or both. The event sells out every year so please do not wait!”

Kids’ Chance of Florida, Inc. is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization by professionals who have an affiliation with workers’ compensation in our state. We are governed by an all-volunteer board, and raises funds for scholarships through donations from individuals, corporations, foundations, the United Way, and other organizations active in workers’ compensation matters.
How it all Started
Robert Clyatt, a workers’ compensation attorney from Valdosta, Georgia, founded the first Kids’ Chance organization in 1988. Through his work, he had witnessed the life-shattering impact that a serious workplace injury had on the children of seriously or fatally injured workers, who were now faced with the difficulty of having to fund their own education.With the assistance of the Workers’ Compensation Section of the Georgia Bar, Bob Clyatt incorporated Kids’ Chance of Georgia and began raising money to fund educational scholarships for the children of injured Georgia workers, so that they could pursue their educational goals. Kids’ Chance of Georgia began reaching out to other states and encouraged and assisted them in establishing their own Kids’ Chance organizations. Thanks to their efforts, states have organized Kids’ Chance programs that are actively providing need-based scholarships to the families of seriously injured workers, and new Kids’ Chance organizations are being formed each year.
Since our early beginnings, Kids’ Chance has grown and evolved, and we have become a diverse group of employers, insurers, labor, state government, medical care providers, and both plaintiff and defense attorneys, who are working together to make a difference in the lives of all children affected by a workplace injury by helping them achieve their educational dreams.
