My Forever Child Supports Leading Infant Health Organization
Percentage of sales donated to First Candle


[Baltimore, MD – June 2008] In an effort to create awareness and raise funds to save infant lives, My Forever Child has launched a new partnership with First Candle; the nation’s leading nonprofit dedicated to infant health and safety. My Forever Child will be donating fifty percent from the sale of its 'LIL CARE Angel charm and fifteen percent of sales generated by First Candle-referred customers in the form of product. The proceeds will be used to support SIDS and stillbirth research and bereavement support programs at First Candle.

“We are pleased to have My Forever Child as the newest partner in our Gifts that Give program,” said Development Manager Heather McGraw. “This innovative program allows consumers to shop for the products and services they need most, while at the same time knowing that a portion of their purchase is going to a worthy cause.”
Consumers can shop from the comfort of their own home through the First Candle web site at www.firstcandle.org

“Ever since my son was stillborn in 2002, I have wanted to help raise funds for stillbirth research,” said My Forever Child founder Susan Mosquera. “Over 70 babies are stillborn every single day in the United States. This is a national health crisis that must be stopped. Children are irreplaceable; we have an obligation to protect them.”

As an added bonus, consumers will receive critical lifesaving messages on reducing the risk of infant death with all on-line purchases of the 'LIL CARE Angel charm.
