Charity and Community involvementA percentage of the proceeds from the sale of every Baby K’tan™ Baby Carrier will be allocated to the American Heart Association and to help fund education, medical research, advocacy programs, and promotion of awareness and inclusion for individuals and families living with Down syndrome.
American Heart Association
The American Heart Association is a national voluntary health agency whose mission is: "Building healthier lives, free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke."
Donations to the American Heart Association support research, education, and community programs leading the fight against America’s No. 1 killer, cardiovascular disease.
Baby K’tan™ co-founders Isaac and Aviva Wernick’s youngest son, Eitan Lev, was born in 2003 with a rare and serious heart defect known as TAPVR (Total Anomalous Pulmonary Venous Return). Eitan underwent a successful open-heart surgery at Miami Children’s Hospital when he was only four weeks old. Baby K’tan is happy to give back to those organizations that are dear to our hearts. |

Down syndrome Awareness
Baby K’tan™ supports a world in which all people with Down syndrome have the opportunity to realize their life aspirations. Donations are made to organizations such as the Broward Gold Coast Down syndrome Organization which works towards enhancing the lives of individuals with Down syndrome by helping them reach their full potential by providing family support, education and social activities.
Baby K’tan™ co-founders Michal and Brian Chesal’s oldest son, Coby Joshua, was born with Down syndrome in December of 1999. Coby’s birth and disability presented the need for Michal & Brian to create an environment for him that would facilitate his development and provide the extra stimulation he needed for optimal growth.
In addition to donations made by Baby K’tan LLC, on a volunteer basis, Michal assists in chairing events that promote advocacy and acceptance of the special needs community. Additionally, she serves as an active board member on numerous children’s advocacy organizations.
