Awards Gala Benefiting the Newborn Foundation What will do to combat newborn mortality?
Join us for an event dedicated to celebrating babies, recognizing global champions, and raising funds to support research pilots, policies and programs laser-targeting the top killers of newborns right here, around the country and around the world. Dear supporter, On Friday, October 10, 2014, the Newborn Foundation will host the largest awards gala and fundraiser of its kind - dedicated to combatting newborn mortality and directly impacting the survival and health of the youngest babies. As you may know, the Newborn Foundation and Coalition was launched with our co-founder and partner organizations about a year after my own baby Eve s open heart surgery. She was diagnosed at 2 days old, and was able to survive and thrive because of early detection and access to life-saving treatment. The Newborn Foundation was established with one strategic mission - to leverage technologies that can improve access, save newborn lives and improve the health of babies. It s been a wild, life-changing ride. In just a few short years, the Newborn Foundation and Coalition s advocacy and policy leadership has literally begun changing the landscape of newborn healthcare - and already helped save and improve thousands of the littlest lives. Friday, October 10, 2014 105 N 1st Avenue Minneapolis, MN 6:00 PM.... Drink & Mingle. 7:30 PM...Learn. Eat. Give. Special Guest Host: Jason DeRusha, Emmy-Award-Winning news anchor, Chapter Board Chair, National Academy of Arts & Sciences, and all-around media badass Black Tie Optional From the Midwest, to the U.S. Capitol - to rural China, Morocco and the Philippines - to the UN efforts to reduce global neonatal mortality as a small, but ambitious nonprofit, we re proud of our impact. We would be honored if you would consider joining us in the important work ahead. Please consider sponsoring 2014 Newborn Foundation Awards Gala - together, we will continue our local, national and international efforts to ensure every newborn has the opportunity to survive and thrive.
