There's always great news and events around the Georgetown area. Here are some of the events and Stay tuned for announcements of interest to people in the Georgetown area.
Most of us remember the March of Dimes growing up as an organization that eliminated Polio.
Today it is chartered with the responsibility to find the cause and prevention of premature births, one of the main causes of infant mortality in the United States. To bring the topic closer to home 1 in 7 or 13.7% of all births in Texas are pre-term or premature. The effects are sometimes death or life long illness and can include cerebral palsy, mental retardation, chronic lung disease, blindness, and hearing loss.
Austin is one of 10 American cities that exceeded $1 million in monies raised for the Walk two years in a row. Texans never do anything small.
Won’t you please do one of the following?
* Create a Walk Team. Raise funds through your own team -
* Match the Fund Raising Efforts of an existing Team – If you know someone who already walks for the Babies, consider matching their fund raising
* Participate with a Mazda Dealer’s fund raising – join our team or contribute to our efforts
Whatever your choice, reach deep down and help us support this worthy cause.
