As you know, November is National Prematurity Awareness Month.
November 12 is National Prematurity Awareness Day.
In an effort to spread awareness about prematurity, especially in Tarrant County , we have partnered with Baylor All Saints Andrews Women’s Center to have the building lit in purple for the month. The lighting will take place Wednesday, November 5th at 6 PM, just inside the main entrance of the Women’s Center. Please join us in lighting up the building in order to give all babies a healthy start.
March of Dimes Petition for Preemies is a key part of our 2008 Prematurity Awareness Month activities. The petition is a call to action for our country to do more to help moms have healthy, full-term babies. The petition calls on federal and state policymakers, hospitals and health care professionals and the business community to take certain actions that can help reduce the rate of premature births.
Our goal in Texas is to get at least 5,000 signatures! As volunteer leaders for the chapter, your help is needed to spread the word about the petition and ask colleagues and friends to sign it. This is a great opportunity to refocus attention in Texas on the crisis of prematurity and work together to do all we can to help moms have healthy, full-term babies!

Thank you for all of your support!
