One man is out to raise $30,000 for unborn children.
Jonathan Arehart, CEO of Cavendo Corporation in Manassas, was picked by a local chapter of the March of Dimes to lead a fund raising and awareness effort for the March for Babies, a major fundraiser for the organization.
The money will go to help mothers have full-term pregnancies and to deliver healthy babies.
“I’m serving as the 2011 chair for March for Babies because I believe our children’s health is a top priority,” said Arehart. “All babies should have the chance to be born healthy.”
Premature birth affects more than half a million babies each year, and those involved with the awareness campaign say that number is growing each day. Babies that are born too soon are susceptible to death or disability, according to Arehart.
A Manassas womens health center is just one of the local organizations that will benefit from the money.
Two Web sites about the organization are available, one in English and one in Spanish, where those interested can learn more information.
Arehart’s Cavendo Corporation provides Web site design, development, hosting and maintenance services for clients throughout Northern Virginia.
