In 2000 the Foundation sought to raise awareness of the dangers of guns in the home. Too many children have been catastrophically injured and/or killed when guns have been left unsecured and accessible to children. The Landskroner Foundation for Children has acquired gunlocks, which we are distributed to the general public to promote responsibility in homes where guns are maintained. Over 6.250 free gun and cable locks have been given away since the inception of this program.

Since its inception in 1998, the Landskroner Foundation for Children has been gathering books and toys for distribution to children who are in need to provide them with items they can claim as their own. The foundation solicits books and toys from the legal community of Cleveland and the publ ic at large to distribute to children in shelters and to reading programs in the community.

In 1999 the Landskroner Foundation for Children held its first annual Law School Closing Argument competition. Law students from law schools across the state are selected to give a closing argument based on a child injury case. The jury is composed of members of the media, experienced plaintiff and defense lawyers, and lay persons associated with children's causes. Scholarship awards are given to the winners. *The competition ran annually before Covid and Jacks death.
