PPB will march with thousands teaming up for healthy babies!

Here at Petunia we know too well what it's like when a baby is born too soon. When a baby is born early, even by just a few weeks, the brain and other organs haven’t had time to fully develop. The March of Dimes has directly touched the lives of Petunia parents who have experienced the emotional toll of premature births. As a result, we have formed Team Petunia: PPB staff members who will participate in the March of Dimes “march for babies” walking event on Saturday, May 16th.

So when you select that perfect Petunia product for someone special this Mother's Day, a portion of the proceeds from every purchase will raise sponsorship money for the Petunia team of walkers. You can be a sponsor, too. Better yet, you can march with us by joining Team Petunia.

Spread the Love. March of Dimes "march for babies"

The March of Dimes supports research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies to begin healthy lives. The funds are also used to bring comfort to families whose baby was born too soon, or sick—comfort that has directly touched the lives of Petunia parents who have experienced the emotional toll of premature births. As a result, we have formed Team Petunia: a group of motivated PPB staff members who will participate in the March of Dimes “march for babies” walking event on Saturday, May 16th.

The March of Dimes "march for babies" takes place in more than 900 communities across the country and 77% of every dollar raised supports families and saves babies. So when you select that perfect Petunia product for someone special this Mother's Day, a portion of the profits will sponsor Team Petunia on our walk. You can be a sponsor, too. At the time of purchase, you will be given the opportunity to donate additional dollars beyond your purchase price to this meaningful event OR march with us by joining Team Petunia. This truly is the opportune time to receive 30-70% off our most fashionable products—and improve the chances of survival for babies born too soon. We know the March of Dimes hopes to raise $117 million from the event in 2009 to support research to find answers to the serious problems that threaten babies and we look forward to doing our part.
