Fundraising Ideas & Tips

We LOVE fundraising and we LOVE supporting your fundraising. You give premature babies a better chance of survival. 

Your fundraising helps us to:

  • fund research projects dedicated to advancing the care of premature babies
  • supply hospitals with lifesaving neonatal equipment
  • raise awareness of premature birth and celebrate all premature babies, both living and lost, and
  • inspire people to achieve their fitness goals while supporting premature babies.

Ask your boss or HR if they have a matched giving program.

Many workplaces have them and if not, are likely to support you with a donation.
