SIDS, or Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, is the number one killer of babies in America. This article was designed to help raise awareness and educate people of this terrible occurrence so that many lives will be saved. Every year an event takes place that gathers people from all over the country to show their support for the research, and help to enlighten people as to this silent killer and its victims. The event is called ‘Spring for SIDS’.

To give you a better insight as to what we are trying to accomplish with this event I will explain it further so you can decide if you would like to joins the hundreds of thousands of people that will be raising awareness and promoting proper education where SIDS is concerned.
After making a small $5 donation to the SIDS cause, you are then given a sticker. On April 8th, you then wear your cutest spring outfit and display your sticker proudly. This will often open the doors of communication to those around you. No matter the avenue that is opened- whether it is about your attire or the sticker you can take that opportunity to explain a little about the cause and the victims that die each and every year.
The following is from the American SIDS Institute:
“Volunteer today to be a Spring-for-SIDS Captain at your company. A kit will be provided to all Captains, including posters, stickers, donation cards and sign-up sheets – everything you need to coordinate the event where you work. Everyone at your company will have fun and will feel good about being part of this effort to end SIDS. To learn more about Spring-for-SIDS, or to volunteer, go to www.springforsids.org”
