Support March of Dimes while Saving Money

Posted by kim on December 15, 2009

I was recently looking to renew some of my favorite magazine subscriptions, and being the bargain queen that I am, I wanted to find the best deal. I ended up finding the lowest prices on new and renewal magazine subscriptions at MagFundraising.com.

And the best part is that MagFundraising donates up to 40% of your purchase price back to charity!  So I established an account where proceeds from sales will be donated to the March of Dimes.

Select from a variety of 650 magazines at up to 85% off newsstands prices and improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth, and infant mortality at the same time. Shop Now!

March of Dimes Donations Matched $ for $

Posted by kim on December 10, 2009

March of Dime‘s Board of Trustees is funding a matching gift opportunity: every dollar of every donation you make until December 31, 2009, will be doubled — up to $150,000!

Your donation of $25 will become $50 when it is matched. Your gift of $50 becomes $100. Anything you can give today will be worth twice as much!

Imagine: $300,000 to help moms and babies, this year and next. We can’t let this opportunity pass us by!

Your gift today, doubled, helps the March of Dimes fund research into premature birth and provide services to families of infants born too soon or sick.  Donate Today!

Prematurity Awareness Day

Posted by kim on November 17, 2009

Today is Prematurity Awareness Day so instead of retelling our tear-jerking preemie story, I thought I’d feature other worth-reading “preemie parent” blog posts from today…

Prematurity Awareness Day – Shouldn’t Have to Be Great quick story and poem about the loss of Baby JW.

Subliminal Intervention: Prematurity Awareness Month I, too, was born in 1972, so this was a interesting read about a man born in 1972 weighing only 2 lb. 2 oz.

Redefining “OK” « The Continuing Adventures of SuperPreemie The story of SuperPreemie Shoshanna who is now a kindergartner.

Because Miracles Happen: We fight because babies shouldn’t have to! Tyler is indeed a 25.3 week 1 lb. 11 oz miracle.

The Spohrs Are Multiplying… » Fight For Preemies Heather & Mike lost Maddie too soon, and I keep baby Binky in my prayers.

Fight for Preemies « I Can Grow People Wear purple today* to show your support for babies born too soon.

*I am still in my pajamas as I write this thinking about what I have purple to wear today. And I looked down and realized my pajamas are purple! Coincidence?
