March of Dimes is Back!

Once again EAH is partnering with the March of Dimes to raise critical funds so that EVERY baby has a fighting chance to be born healthy and full term. 

YOU CAN HELP! 

By joining our EAH online team you can set up your own fundraising page, or if you choose, simply make a quick tax-deductible donation. You can do both by using the following link: https://www.marchforbabies.org/team/eamc

Baskets for Babies Fundraiser: Donations Needed

We are excited to announce our 3rd Annual “Baskets for Babies” fundraiser for the March of Dimes! This popular event will coincide with our annual T-shirt sale again this year. Last year EAH raised over $9,000 for the March of Dimes and we are aiming to meet or exceed that this year!  

Here are the instructions:

1. Departments/Teams choose a basket "theme” and then purchase items that go with the theme and an appropriate container. It doesn’t need to be a basket! Any container that fits your theme is great! (for example, a tool theme might want to have a toolbox for their container; a beach theme might want a beach cart or cooler for their container)  
2. Submit your theme choice/idea to Yvonne Willis (yvonne.willis@eamc.org) by April 1st. GET CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN!!  
3. The deadline to turn in your basket/container WILL BE APRIL 17th. (You can bring your basket directly to administration or to NICU North on the 3rd floor.
4. Make sure to attach the name of your basket, a list of all the items in the basket, an approximate value for all the items it contains, and the name of the dept. donating the basket.
5. Be sure to contain and secure all the items! (they are moved frequently for displays and need to remain protected!)

Raffle tickets will begin once all baskets are collected (details will be sent later) Share the word with your teams, email Yvonne with your theme and start having fun collecting! 

Here are some successful themes from the past two years as suggestions, but please feel free to create one of your own. (You can explore “Themed basket Ideas” on Pinterest for others)
