Holiday Art and Craft Sale
To benefit stillbirth research and prevention
The majority of stillbirth deaths are at or near full-term (37+ weeks) and no cause or risk factors are ever found. Stillbirth, the death of an infant in-utero and past 20 completed gestational weeks, claims more than 26,000 babies in the United States each year. It is the leading cause of infant death in the U.S. Stillbirth cuts across socio-economic classes, races, religions, body types and maternal age groups. No woman is immune. Research on causes and prevention is desperately needed. Researchers have just begun delving into the causes for stillbirth (how is it that stillbirth has gone unstudied for so long?), and with financial support from First Candle, could do even more to prevent more unnecessary losses like Allan's.
