Did you know Fort Worth has one of the highest infant mortality rates in the country? Come find out more and support concerned citizen-activists in a public event.
Join up for a "Silent March of Awareness" along Main Street in downtown Fort Worth.
Wednesday, August 12, 2009
12 noon - 1pm
Begins at entrance to Fort Worth Convention Center on Main Street, and ends with a rally on the steps of the Old Courthouse.
Make sure YOU and YOUR organization are represented. (Spend your lunch break for a worthy cause.)
1,000 women will march with 1,000 red umbrellas the full length of downtown Main Street in Fort Worth in order to heighten awareness of the serious issue of infant mortality in our community.
The Fort Worth Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc., the City of Fort Worth Commission for Women, and the Fort Worth Junior League have partnered together to sponsor this march to educate our community on the issues surrounding
infant mortality.
The Hispanic Healthcare Professionals Association (HISPA) will be participating in the march as well.
Please meet at 11:30 am on Main Street in front of the convention center. Wear white & red to show your support.
Red umbrellas, for use in the march, will be available at the gathering point for $5 apiece. The proceeds benefit the Fort Worth/Dallas Birthing Project
