The 12th Annual Changemakers Luncheon

The Changemakers Luncheon, presented by the University of Iowa Health Care, is our largest fundraiser of the year and one of the most sought-after spring events in Central Iowa. It is an uplifting and inspi­ra­tional oppor­tunity to celebrate babies saved while raising awareness and funds to support the mission of Healthy Birth Day, Inc., the nonprofit that created the Count the Kicks still­birth prevention program.

Every Spring more than 1,000 Change­makers from across the country gather to celebrate the impact of our mission while helping to propel forward our work to improve birth outcomes for tens of thousands of moms and babies around the county. This event, and the support of Changemakers like you, accelerates progress on stillbirth prevention. There is no doubt that your generosity is WORKING.
