Our hearts are full as we reflect on the amazing turnout, the infectious excitement, and the generosity expressed by attendees at the 11th Annual Changemakers Event, presented by MercyOne! Thank you to each and every person who attended our annual fundraiser on April 22, 2025, whether in person or virtually. With your support, this year’s event raised more than $300,000 to advance our mission to prevent stillbirths through the Count the Kicks program.
From the bottom of our hearts: Thank you for your belief in Count the Kicks and your partnership in supporting powerful systemic change. This life-saving impact would not be possible without the ongoing support of our community of Changemakers. We can’t wait to show you the impact of your generosity.
The Changemakers Luncheon, presented by MercyOne, 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.
