Raising Awareness

Awareness days and campaigns shine a light on important issues and communities, helping to educate, connect, and inspire action. By building understanding and empathy, they drive real change and lasting impact.

Miracle Babies holds and participates in many campaigns throughout the year to highlight the journey and needs of premature and sick newborns and their families, nationally and globally. 

Highlighting an awareness day or campaign is to shine a spotlight on an issue, cause, or community that might otherwise go unnoticed or misunderstood.

But the ultimate goal goes beyond “awareness”, it’s about making change.
