MARCH OF DIMES PARTNERS WITH AUCOIN HART JEWELERS TO GIVE BACK TO MOMS IN LOCAL NICUS

To Help Lead The Fight For The Health Of All Moms And Babies

(NEW ORLEANS, LA 9/19/19)—March of Dimes Signature Chefs Auction adds a little flavor to fundraising. An opportunity for guests to experience New Orleans, LA most talented chefs while celebrating and supporting a great cause, this annual event will return to the Omni Royal Orleans on October 4, 2019.

Aucoin Hart Jewelers is partnering with the March of Dimes to support our fight for the health of all moms and babies.  Aucoin Hart Jewelers has generously agreed to donate a heart locket to a mother in a local NICU for every $1,000 donation to Fund the Mission! 

“We are thrilled and honored to partner with the March of Dimes to support their mission to lead the fight for the health of all moms and babies,” said Tommy Aucoin, Jr.

The United States is in the midst of a maternal and child health crisis with more than 380,000 babies born prematurely each year, as well as more than 50,000 women experiencing life-threatening complications as a result of pregnancy and childbirth. March of Dimes is working in communities across the country to reduce the rising rates of premature birth, as well as maternal mortality and morbidity. Our organization supports women before, during and after pregnancy to ensure all moms and babies are healthy.

Honest stories of pregnancy, parenting and loss are too often left unshared. To fill this void, March of Dimes launched #UnspokenStories, a supportive community that gives voice to all experiences around these issues. This initiative aims to provide women, men and families a platform to connect and speak honestly. For more information and to share your story, please visit UnspokenStories.org. 

In addition to Children’s Hospital, sponsors of note include gold sponsor Ochsner Hospital for Children, and silver sponsors, Auto-Chlor, Campion Devco, Crane Rehab, Jones Walker, Latter & Blum, Merrill Lynch, Oral & Maxillofacial Surgical Associates, Pan American Life Insurance Group, Reily Foods Company, Sher Garner Cahill Richter Klein & Hilbert, LLC, and Tulane Lakeside Hospital.
