BEAUMONT , TEXAS – September 25, 2009 – In challenging economic times, the work of non-profit organizations plays an even more important role in helping people maintain their health and get the services they need.
The Wachovia Wells Fargo Foundation has become the first 2010 Presenting Sponsor of March for Babies, the March of Dimes’ biggest fundraising event. March of Dimes is proud to partner with Wells Fargo, because more than a half million babies – one out of every eight – are born too soon each year due to premature birth and the numbers have risen steadily. Through funds raised by March for Babies, the March of Dimes works to help women have full-term pregnancies and healthy babies, reducing health costs to employers.
"Business leaders and employers recognize March of Dimes as a worthy cause with real impact on their employees, their cost of doing business and their communities," said Rudy Beeching, Southeast Texas Market President. "With the support of the Wachovia Wells Fargo Foundation and the business community the March of Dimes is working to find the causes of preterm birth and helping every baby be born healthy and strong."
Today - most of the causes of preterm birth remain unknown. For this reason, support for the March of Dimes by community partners is of vital importance. There is an urgent purpose for life-saving research according to the March of Dimes and it is imperative that communities continue to work toward healthy babies. Continued thanks is given to the Wachovia Wells Fargo Foundation, by the Texas and Golden Triangle March of Dimes for their unwavering commitment to fund the March of Dimes research efforts into 2010.
The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. With chapters nationwide and its premier event, March for Babies, the March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies.
