I맥스카지노�M ALEX DURHAM. TODAY I AM JOINED BY SUSANNE RILEY. SHE IS WITH THE MARCH OF DIMES AND ALSO BRANDON. HE IS THE CHAIR FOR THE MARCH FOR BABIES. SO FIRST OF ALL, BEFORE WE GET TO THE EVENT DETAILS, I WANT SUSANNE TO TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT WHAT THE MARCH OF DIMES IS AND WHAT YOU GUYS DO. WELL, SO THE MARCH OF DIMES IS ABOUT AN 85 YEAR OLD ORGANIZATION STARTED OUT WITH A FUNDRAISER TO FUND THE CURE FOR POLIO. SO IT HAS NOW EVOLVED SINCE WE DID DO THE VACCINE FOR POLIO, EVOLVED INTO TAKING CARE OF MOMS AND BABIES, ENDING PRETERM BIRTHS, AND INFANT AND MATERNAL DEATH ASSOCIATED WITH PREGNANCY COMPLICATIONS AND CHILDBIRTH. THERE ARE MANY WAYS THAT PEOPLE CAN HELP SUPPORT THE MARCH OF DIMES, BUT ONE WAY IS TO SIGN UP FOR THE MARCH FOR BABIES, WHICH IS COMING UP IN MAY. BRANDON, SINCE YOU맥스카지노�RE THE CHAIR OF THE EVENT, I WANT YOU TO TELL US WHAT WE CAN EXPECT IF WE맥스카지노�RE THERE. SO THE MARCH FOR BABIES, IT맥스카지노�S IT맥스카지노�S A WALK THAT맥스카지노�S HELD ANNUALLY, I BELIEVE, IF I맥스카지노�M NOT MISTAKEN, IT맥스카지노�S ONE OF THE THE OLDEST EVENTS THAT THEY HAVE HELD FOR THE MARCH OF DIMES. 55 YEARS. AND IT맥스카지노�S IT맥스카지노�S AN IMPORTANT EVENT BECAUSE IT GETS THE COMMUNITY INVOLVED AND ENERGIZED ABOUT THE THE FUNDRAISING IT BRINGS IN. FUNDS. BUT IT ALSO RAISES AWARENESS. IT GETS THE THE THE PUBLIC IN GENERAL MORE AWARE OF WHAT맥스카지노�S GOING ON WITH IT. IT맥스카지노�S IT맥스카지노�S ABOUT BRINGING ATTENTION TO IT. AND THEN WHILE PEOPLE ARE THERE LEARNING MORE ABOUT THE MARCH OF DIMES AND OF COURSE, RAISING MONEY. HOW SUSANNE ARE THOSE? IS THE MONEY BEING USED TO HELP SUPPORT MOMS AND BABIES? SO WE HAVE A VARIOUS WAYS TO SUPPORT MOMS AND BABIES. ONE WAY IS THROUGH PROGRAMS LIKE OUR NICU FAMILY SUPPORT. THAT IS A PROGRAM FOR FAMILIES WHO HAVE BABIES IN THE NICU. AND WE ALSO PROVIDE SUPPORTIVE PREGNANCY CARE. THERE맥스카지노�S EDUCATION THAT WE WE DO TO EDUCATION FOR HEALTH CARE PROVIDERS, AS WELL AS FAMILIES. WE ALSO DO A LOT OF RESEARCH, AND WE DO HAVE A RESEARCH CENTER. THERE맥스카지노�S SEVEN RESEARCH CENTERS IN THE NATION. ONE OF THOSE IS IN CINCINNATI. AND SO THERE맥스카지노�S RIGHT NOW WE맥스카지노�RE DOING SOME REALLY PROMISING RESEARCH ON PREVENTING THE PRETERM BIRTH. AND THEN PRE-ECLAMPSIA AND USING LOW DOSE ASPIRIN. AND THEN ALSO WE DO ADVOCACY WORK. SO MARCH 17TH 16TH WE DID OUR 1ST MARCH FOR CHANGE AT THE CAPITOL IN FRANKFORT. AND WORKED ON GETTING SOME LEGISLATION PASSED FOR BENEFITS FOR OUR OUR STATE EMPLOYEES. PATERNAL AND MATERNAL TIME OFF WORK. SO IMPORTANT. YEAH. SO THERE맥스카지노�S A LOT OF ADVOCACY WORK THAT WE DID. THERE WERE THREE OR THERE WERE SEVERAL BILLS THAT, YOU KNOW, WE WERE WORKING TO GET PASSED. NOT ALL OF THEM DID. SO WE STILL HAVE WORK TO DO THERE. BUT THAT맥스카지노�S TYPICALLY WHERE OUR MONEY GOES. AND THEN WE ALSO ONE OF THE GOALS THAT WE HAVE FOR THE STATE OF KENTUCKY IS TO GET A MOBILE HEALTH UNIT. BECAUSE WE DO HAVE A LOT OF MATERNAL DESERTS, HEALTH CARE DESERTS IN THE IN THIS STATE, WHICH MEANS, YOU KNOW, THEY맥스카지노�RE 30 MINUTES AWAY FROM THE CLOSEST. MATERNAL AND OBGYN OFFICE OR HOSPITAL. AND I WANT TO GO BACK TO THE MARCH FOR BABIES, BECAUSE THAT맥스카지노�S WHAT WE WANT PEOPLE TO SIGN UP FOR. BRANDON, REALLY QUICKLY. YOU맥스카지노�RE THE CHAIR. YOU ALSO ARE WITH THE UAW. CAN YOU TALK TO ME ABOUT THE RELATIONSHIP THERE? YEAH. SO THE UAW TAKES A LOT OF PRIDE IN THE FACT THAT WE WE HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE LARGER DONORS TO THE MARCH OF DIMES FOR FOR MANY, MANY YEARS. WHEN COVID CAME ALONG AND THE ADDED RESTRICTIONS THAT THAT CAUSED IN THE WORKPLACE, THINGS LIKE THAT, WE REALLY KIND OF FELL BEHIND ON OUR FUNDRAISING. I THINK WE WEREN맥스카지노�T THE ONLY ONES. THERE WAS A STRUGGLE THERE. AND IT REALLY KIND OF HURT. THE MARCH OF DIMES IN GENERAL. WE맥스카지노�RE TRYING REALLY HARD TO GET RE-ENERGIZED AND GET OUR MEMBERSHIP EXCITED ABOUT IT AGAIN. THE MARCH OF DIMES IS SOMETHING THAT THEY HAVE DONE A LOT FOR A LOT OF OUR MEMBERS. SO WE WANT TO TRY AND GIVE BACK. AND THIS IS SOMETHING THAT맥스카지노�S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US. I LOVE TO HEAR THAT.
