During November – Prematurity Awareness Month –
Help Send a Message of Hope for Premature Babies

Babies are in crisis today. Nearly half a million are born prematurely every year and the number is rising. Premature birth is the number one killer of newborns and a major cause of serious health problems. It costs society billions of dollars every year. That is why the March of Dimes has designated November as Prematurity Awareness Month - to let us know that premature birth is a crisis in our country and to bring people together to help give all babies their 9 months.

The March of Dimes is leading a national effort to save babies from premature birth by funding research to find the causes and by supporting local programs that offer hope and help to families with a baby in intensive care.

In November, visit www.marchofdimes.com and find out what you can do for pink and blue to help prevent premature birth. You can show you care by wearing pink and blue, raising awareness with wristbands, car magnets and ribbons. You can spread the word about the problem of prematurity by sending e-mails and letters. You can help pink and blue sweep the nation by organizing local events like pink + blue Jeans for Babies®. Visit www.marchofdimes.com for more ways to help give all babies their 9 months during November – Prematurity Awareness Month – and any time of year.
