This Friday, December 1st, after the last day of Prematurity Awareness Month, the UGA chapter of March of Dimes is having their 2nd annual “Cultures that Care” event. It is there main fundraiser for the semester. They will have groups from all over campus performing like the Red Hots and W.S.E.M. (With Someone Else’s Money). The chapter gives all of the proceed from this event directly to March of Dimes who uses it to fund research on newborn illnesses and diseases. Starting at 7:30pm at the Georgia Hall, the event will cost only $5.00 at the door and will be accompanied by refreshments.
March of Dimes was actually founded by FDR who wanted to find a cure for polio. Now the organization researches cures for everything from infant paralysis to Spina Bifida. Premature babies cost much more than healthy ones, and therefore, the March of Dimes often provides financial support for families who can’t afford the payments. Newborns are helpless to help themselves and the cures are just around the corner! Anyone who has the time should attend this event if even for one performance. Christmas is the season for giving so let your inner-Santa give in.
