Top Ladies, Top Teens Partner with March of Dimes for Health
Fair
The Top Ladies of Distinction Inc, (TLOD) and Top Teens of
America (TTA) -Toledo Chapters collaborated with St. Paul
Missionary Baptist Church Health Fair that was held on
Saturday, November 23, 2019.
This Health Fair shared information on helping senior
citizens with tips on staying healthy. ABC Health Care was
on hand to also give blood pressure screenings and health
checks.
Holiday baskets were collected from church members, Top
Ladies of Distinction and Top Teens of America and
distributed to senior residents in the Toledo community.
March of Dimes partnered with its National Service Partner,
Top Ladies of Distinction & Top Teens of America for this
health fair. March of Dimes' mission is leading the fight
for the health of all moms and babies. There is an urgent
health crisis in this country around prematurity and infant
and maternal mortality and unfortunately black women are
much more likely to experience this fate than any other
race.
It is completely unacceptable for black babies and mothers
to die at such a high rate. Equity is something March of
Dimes passionately advocates for and works towards for every
woman and family, and that is why its partnership with
organizations like Top Ladies of Distinction is so
critically important.
The ladies are philanthropic and connected in their
communities and it is through their service that March of
Dimes is able to connect as many women in their community as
possible with resources so they can have a healthy pregnancy
as well as having a platform for them to have a voice, to
share their experience and to represent themselves and their
story in a world that too often tries to silence.
March of Dimes is a resource
around all matters related to pregnancy and parenthood,
especially for anyone trying to get pregnant, currently
pregnant or who has experienced miscarriage, infant loss,
pregnancy complications or premature birth.
If anyone would like more information about getting involved
with the local efforts around volunteering and raising money
and awareness for this urgent health crisis, please contact
