What it reported doing in 2025

4 The Kids Baton Rouge, Inc. is a teen-founded charity organized to expand and improve the children's hospital facilities in Baton Rouge, LA and to encourage and promote teen involvement in our endeavor for the construction and enhancement of a freestanding children's hospital in our capital city of Louisiana. We believe in making things better for children. Our goal is for the construction of a free-standing children's hospital and to enhance our children's hospital by providing donations of monetary support and innovative technology such as telepresence robots called 4theKids WeeGeauxs by V-Go, the first to be provided for health care in Louisiana, which will better connect patients to family, friends and physicians. 4theKids also seeks to inspire high school and college students to join together to make a difference in our community and the lives of children through community events, such as the sale of T-shirts, specially designed "Coeur-sage" bracelets and boutonnires for proms and special events, charity estate sales, bake sales and live teen concerts.
