Our Work
The Katelyn Hall Foundation strives to help in the fight against prematurity. Our premiere fundraising event is our annual golf tournament. Our 5th Annual Golf Tournament will be held on April 5, 2010 at Lansdowne Golf Resort.
In our efforts to make a difference in the lives of those affected by prematurity we are working with the following organizations:
March of Dimes
Within the March of Dimes community we are known as "Team Katelyn" and we have been supporting MOD since Katelyn's 1 year birthday. Katelyn turned 1 year old on the MOD National Prematurity Awareness day: Nov 16, 2004. Katelyn was chosen as the 2009 National Ambassador for the March of Dimes and spent the year traveling across the country helping in the fight against prematurity. You can see more about her journey as the national ambassador on her MOD web page. Every year Team Katelyn walks in the March for Babies and our goal is to raise $1M dollars, which was the cost of Katelyn's NICU stay. To donate to MOD for Team Katelyn's march on April 25, 2010 please visit our MFB webpage. For more information please visit www.marchofdimes.com.
Preemies Today
Preemies Today is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Their mission is to provide outreach and support programs to families of infants born prematurely beginning at birth and throughout childhood. They are located in the Washington DC metropolitan area and have local events in Northern Virginia, Maryland, and DC. For more information please visit www.preemiestoday.com.
Georgetown University Hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Unit
Katelyn spent 159 days in the GTUH NICU after she was born at 25 weeks weighing only 15.5 oz in November 2003. We will forever be indebted to the doctors and nurses who took such good care of Katelyn while she was there. We want to make sure that the GTUH NICU can continue to save the lives of babies like Katelyn for years to come. Michael and Ashley both serve on the GTUH NICU Parent Advisary Board which was formed in the Winter of 2009. For more information please visit the GTUH NICU website.
