Consider "292-BABY" for a Donor Designation (#2406) when you support United Way


Approximately 20 children will be born in Monroe County today. What happens to them in the next three years of their life will have life-long consequences, both good and bad. Help support MCC’s outreach, through “292-BABY” to all those who care for these babies. Help promote the “cradle to completion” approach to human development in our community.

Please consider supporting the United Way and keep “292-BABY” in mind for a specific donor designation. (# 2406) Your contribution will help to:

* Continue to provide our telephone hotline, 292-BABY (292-2229) where parents and caregivers can talk free to a registered nurse from 7:00 AM to midnight, seven days a week, about any non-emergency issue. Over 11,000 calls have been answered since we launched in 2002.

* Continue to produce new educational videos (currently 100+ have been produced and are available free at (https://www.292baby.org) focused on critical information about early childhood in a format understandable even by a poor reading adult.

* Maintain our television presence highlighting early childhood weekday evenings from 8:00 - 10:00 pm on Cable Channel 4 reaching over 220,000 homes in Monroe County.

Support at any level is helpful and appreciated. Thank you for considering.
