Please join us for a special evening of entertainment and inspiration to save the lives of mothers and babies

 

Despite being one of the oldest diseases on record, preeclampsia - a pregnancy-related disorder - remains one of the leading causes of mothers and babies dying. The 9th annual Saving Grace -- A Night of Hope dinner benefit will support the Preeclampsia Foundation delivering solutions to prevent the senseless tragedy caused by preeclampsia.

 

Together, with your help, we can save lives.

Facts About Preeclampsia

 

Preeclampsia is a life-threatening disorder that occurs only during pregnancy and the postpartum period. Consider...

 

  • In the U.S., a woman is diagnosed with severe preeclampsia every 6 minutes.
  • Worldwide, preeclampsia claims the lives of an estimated 500,000 babies and 76,000 mothers each year.
  • Preeclampsia accounts for 15-20% of the 13 million premature births worldwide.
  • Half of all pregnant women do not know the warning signs of preeclampsia.
  • The cause, and therefore a cure, still eludes us, though there are steps we can take today to reduce adverse outcomes.
