Did you know?
- 600 babies die in Indiana before their first birthday each year
- Indiana ranks 43rd in infant mortality nationwide
- Only 65% of expectant mothers in Indiana receive prenatal care during the first trimester
- 137 deaths would be prevented each year if Indiana decreased its infant mortality rate to the national average (5.82 deaths per 1,000 births)
Indiana Kiwanis is committed to raising $1,000,000 from 2018-2022 to support Riley’s to focuses on raising awareness of Indiana’s infant mortality rate and offering support for both mothers and their children in this critical time of life and help establish a Maternal-Fetal Medicine Endowment.
In order to support Indiana Kiwanis’ efforts, Nicole Zellers decided to dedicate the Governor’s Project to their 4-year long fundraiser. We have set a goal for raising $2,000.
If you have any questions about the project, feel free to send an email to Governor Nicole Zellers at governor@incki.org.
