Uploaded by eepruls on Nov 11, 2011
On October 23rd, 2011 from 1-5pm, Empty Arms Foundation hosted their first charity event for SIDS research at Norberry-Glenlee Community Centre in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
The Fall Home & Beauty Charity Event consisted of 9 home-based party consultants coming together under one roof with all proceeds going to cutting-edge SIDS research being conducted at Children's Hospital Boston. These consultants included: Mary Kay, Jolica Jewellery, Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Stella & Dot Jewellery, Discovery Toys, PartyLite, Norwex, and Epicure. The event also included a silent auction, bake sale, cake raffle, and the sale of t-shirts and SIDS awareness wrist bands. It was a rousing success with nearly $10,000 being raised.
Sudden Infant Death Syndrome is the number one cause of death in infants under one year of age. It affects three babies per week in Canada and six per day in the U.S. Latest research indicates a biological abnormality in the brainstems on SIDS infants. Empty Arms Foundation is dedicated to raising funds and awareness of SIDS so that one day we will be able to identify susceptible infants and prevent their tragic loss.
Thank you to our volunteers, donors, consultants, and community for their support. For more information on Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or to make a donation, please visit http://www.emptyarms.ca.
