SIA supports March of Dimes
Dear friends,
September 20, 2008 marked the launch of SIA's Blue Ribbon campaign. The Blue Ribbon campaign is the final phase of a three part fund-raising campaign launched during the 2005-2006 academic year in order to devote SIA's national fund-raising efforts to our philanthropies. During Phase I, hermanas raised awareness and funds for AIDS and AIDS research during the Red Ribbon campaign. Phase II (Gold Ribbon campaign) was dedicated to supporting Special Olympics by raising awareness about how sports training and competition improves the lives of people with intellectual disabilities. SIA members have raised over $18,000 in their efforts.
The Blue Ribbon campaign will take place during the 2008-2009 academic year and will benefit March of Dimes. The goal is to support March of Dimes by raising awareness and working together to give babies a chance against the threats to their health: prematurity, birth defects, low birth weight.
