A Private, Non-Profit 501(C)(3) United Way Participating Agency.

Our mission is to end unexpected infant mortality through education, support, medical services and research.

Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is the sudden, unexpected death of an apparently healthy infant, for which no cause can be identified. It continues to be a leading cause of death during infancy despite years of research. Our dedication is to assist those who are victims and to search for the cause(s) of sudden death during infancy, identify ways to reduce the risk, disseminate this information, and, ultimately, to prevent these tragic losses.
