NEWTON, Mass., Sept. 15, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Qeepsake, the platform families join to capture and share milestones and moments, today announces its partnership with Project Sweet Peas NY, NICU Parent Network and PreemieWorld, to bolster support and raise attention around Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) Awareness Month in September.
In the United States alone, one in seven babies born will spend time in the NICU. Qeepsake’s goal in working with NICU-dedicated partners is to raise awareness for the families on this journey, while spotlighting the caregivers who have devoted their lives to helping NICU babies flourish and reach their milestones.
Below is a list of initiatives Qeepsake is involved in for NICU Awareness Month in alignment with their partners:
- NICU Graduation Ceremony: Throughout the month of September, Qeepsake is partnering with Project Sweet Peas NY to give every family graduating from the NICU a free Qeepsake Premium Annual Membership ($95 value) at their ceremony.
- Neonatal Nurses Week, Sept. 13-19: Qeepsake is partnering with Project Sweet Peas NY to provide their NICU nurses with a free Qeepsake Premium Annual Membership ($95 value) during Neonatal Nurses Week from Sept. 13-19.
- NICU Parents Network: Qeepsake is providing NICU Parents Network members with gift certificates for free Qeepsake Premium Annual Memberships ($95 value each) to give away on social media to help raise participation in NICU Awareness Month.
- NICU Awareness Day, Sept. 30: Qeepsake will host an IGTV Live panel for NICU Awareness Day on Sept. 30. Hosted on Instagram, moms who have been through a NICU experience will provide insight on how family and friends can better understand and support loved ones who are on a NICU journey.
- 5K Your Way: Qeepsake staff and families will be walking, jogging, running, roller skating and biking five kilometers this month to raise funds that directly support NICU families. Donations can be made here.
“We are honored to have the opportunity to assist Project Sweet Peas NY, NICU Parent Network and PreemieWorld in their strides to support NICU families and caregivers throughout the month of September and beyond,” said Jeff McNeil, CEO and co-founder of Qeepsake. “Though the days and months of a NICU stay can be difficult and pose many obstacles, at Qeepsake we believe every moment and milestone is meaningful and should be captured for families to look back and see how far they’ve come in the years ahead.”
