As we celebrate 30 totally rad years of the Kids Are Worth It!® Conference, we want to give a major shoutout to the incredible sponsors who help make it all possible. Your support keeps KAWI going strong and helps bring together professionals, advocates, Partners, and prevention champions who are committed to strengthening Kentucky families and creating safer communities for children. From the days of pagers and cassette tapes to smartphones and streaming, one thing has never gone out of style: showing up for Kentucky’s kids and families. Thank you for investing in prevention, believing in our mission, and being part of the KAWI story.

No dial-up required. No floppy disks involved. Just teamwork, a whole lot of badges, and enough 90s energy to fill the Central Bank Center.
