March of Dimes® March for Babies®
Can you imagine a day when
every baby is born healthy? We can. With your support, Greenville
Hospital System University Medical Center (GHS) in partnership with the
March of Dimes® will continue to champion the needs of newborns.
Please
join GHS in our continued support for the March of Dimes by walking in
the 2010 March for Babies®. Many GHS employees have a long-standing
commitment to the March of Dimes and have shown great dedication to the
cause. Whether you are a long-time supporter or want to make a
commitment for the first time, we encourage you to walk with us or make
a donation.
2010 March for Babies
Sat., April 24 • CU-ICAR
Why We Walk
When
you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to the more than 500,000
babies born prematurely each year. The money you raise supports
programs that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies right here
in our community. And it funds research to find answers to problems
that threaten babies.
Who Walks
March for
Babies was started in 1970 and has raised an incredible $1.8 billion.
You’ll be joining a million people walking with their families or
co-workers in more than 900 communities. We encourage our employees to
support the March of Dimes by participating in the April 24 March for
Babies event in Greenville.
As the largest birthing hospital in
South Carolina with one of the state’s largest neonatal ICU (Bryan
NICU), GHS continually strives to improve the health of mothers and
babies. GHS supports and shares the March of Dimes mission to improve
the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and
infant mortality
GHS’ goal is to raise $75,000. To help reach
this mark, we have identified company leaders at all campuses. These
leaders are Claudia Jenkins, Debbie Gresham, Rhonda Collins, Pam
Gilstrap, David Counts, Libby Brissey, Sheila Walters and Laura Welsh.
If you would like to take part in this event or make a donation, please contact your campus representative or Meg Jewell at 455-8441 or mjewell@ghs.org. Thank you for your support!
