Mama Cares Foundation to Host First Annual Restore Life Benefit Dinner and Auction as Part of Its Campaign to Feed Malnourished Children
November 13th event will be held at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa; corporate sponsors, auction items and event volunteers are needed
Carlsbad, CA, September 29, 2010 --(PR.com)-- Mama Cares Foundation, a non-profit foundation focused on eliminating severe acute malnutrition, announced today that it is hosting its First Annual Restore Life Benefit Dinner and Auction on Saturday November 13, 2010 at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa. All of the proceeds from the event will fund the its RE:VIVE initiative. RE:VIVE is a simple packet of fortified peanut-based ready-to-use therapeutic food (RUTF) full of the essential vitamins and minerals a child needs to reverse the effects of malnutrition.
Mama Cares Foundation is currently seeking both corporate sponsors and auction item donations for this fundraising event. “A 30-45 day course of a RUTF improves the survival rate of a severely malnourished child from 10% to 90%, taking a child from death to life,” said Mike Mellace, executive director, Mama Cares Foundation. “If a company simply buys a table at our event, they can save 966 lives. Spend one evening with us and you can truly make a difference.”
The statistics are disheartening: Every six seconds, a child dies because he/she did not have access to essential nutrients. 20 million children are suffering from acute malnutrition which is the underlying cause of death for between three and five million children under five every year. But there is hope: Re:Vive offers a real solution to this devastating situation.
The Vision: No child should ever die from malnutrition.
