O.M.L.P. Birthday Fundraiser at The Australian

Mon, 08/03/2010 - 8:36am — Frank Assumma

On Tuesday night  March 16 in New York City ,  we are hoping to get your support for a great cause.
 
My family has a tradition of throwing OMLP’s ( One Month Later Parties). My Birthday was February 16 and so now we celebrate on March 16.

No presents, no birthday cake. Instead, we want to help the children of the world through a wonderful organization called Vitamin Angels.

On Tuesday night, March 16 at The Australian, 20 West 38th Street, NY, NY (between 5th and 6th Avenue, closer to 5th) we will be having a party to support this wonderful organization.

The party starts at 5 PM for those who want to come early, but it will go into the wee hours of the morning.

Food and drink is free. The event sponsors are paying for all costs associated with the party. A minimum contribution of $40 is requested at the door or in advance payable to Vitamin Angels. The recent events in Haiti have underscored the need to support Vitamin Angels. Please be as generous as you can be.

Vitamin Angels-“essential nutrients ,healthy children”. “1 in 3 children worldwide is undernourished .Vitamin Angels reduces child mortality by connecting infants and children under 5 with vital nutrients”. What more needs to be said-help us save the children.

Please tell all your friends and ask them to contribute . Even small amounts can help. Please, as many of you who can, come to this event and share the gift of health with the children of the world.

You can donate right here using credit card (Be sure to leave a comment and let us know you are coming) or just send  check to Vitamin Angels (make sure to include a note that it is for the party) whether you attend the event or not.

 If you attend the event, we will have  volunteers from The Australian and The Assumma and Garutti Family will be there to collect your contributions.

We will send out a reminder each day up until the event day itself, letting you know how many responses we have had. We hope you will take the time to support this wonderful organization.

Vitamin A is essential to immune function, especially in children under five who are most vulnerable to common infections and diseases.
An estimated 190 million children under five suffer from vitamin A deficiency (VAD) worldwide.
Just $.25 provides essential micronutrients to a child for one year.
Nutrient-rich foods are often expensive or difficult to obtain in developing countries. Multivitamins provide daily recommended amounts of key vitamins and minerals important for a range of functions essential to good health.
In 2009, Vitamin Angels provided over 10 million children with essential nutrients. This year, with your help, we will double our reach to 20 million children.
Over two billion people worldwide are deficient in essential nutrients. New and expecting mothers and children under five are the groups most vulnerable to vitamin deficiencies.
It only takes 25 cents to provide a child with vitamin A and antiparasitics for a year. With one dollar, we can provide a child with vitamin A during the four most vulnerable years of their life.
Vitamin Angels' Thrive to Five program provides multivitamins for children and pregnant and lactating women in the U.S. and abroad.
One high-dose vitamin A capsule can provide one child with sufficient vitamin A for six months. This alone reduces the risk of under-five child mortality by 23%.
Our Operation 20/20 program reaches infants, children, and lactating women in 32 countries on three continents.

Essential nutrients, healthy children.

One in three children worldwide is undernourished. Vitamin Angels reduces child mortality by connecting infants and children under five with vital nutrients.
