Since its beginning, the Hayes Hitzeman Foundation has depended on the generosity of people like you to carry out its mission to select and support organizations that provide services toward the prevention of and education about Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Volunteers have always been the driving force behind the foundation, giving generously of their time and talent to serve in a variety of ways. Here's how you can get involved:

• Get involved with our This Side Up Campaign
• Help implement SIDS health education programs at local hospitals, schools, YWCAs, and businesses.
• Recruit students from local schools for youth leadership programs to help educate others about SIDS.
• Plan and implement fund-raising events, like the Joy to the World Silent Auction.
• Join one of the clubs and organizations supporting us in our fight to save babies.
• Participate in public affairs efforts to improve health services for women and babies by writing letters to, calling, or visiting your legislators.
• Help the Hayes Hitzeman Foundation with office procedures such as typing, telephoning, organizing, or preparing mailings.
• Distribute SIDS health education materials to hospitals and schools in your community.
• Discover how you can help at the Hayes Hitzeman Foundation in Richmond, Virginia.
