Announcing our Cause: Room to Grow

by Holly on January 17, 2012

Room to GrowThe LTYM-NYC production team is thrilled to announce our involvement with Room to Grow.

When the four of us were brainstorming ideas on what charities would be a good fit for our group this year, Room to Grow immediately came to our minds.  As a group of moms ourselves, we are concerned with the priority of enriching the lives of babies, particularly of those born into poverty throughout their critical first three years of development.

At Room to Grow, parents expecting a baby are referred to them by selected prenatal programs to assist low-income families. Upon their referral, parents visit Room to Grow’s warm and inviting space once every three months from just before the birth of the baby until their child turns three. During their one-on-one appointments with their staff social workers, typically lasting two hours, parents receive developmental information, customized support, and all of the needed baby items to ensure a healthy and secure start for their child. For more information about how Room to Grow works, please click here.

Ten percent of LTYM-NYC’s ticket proceeds will benefit Room to Grow, and staff members from the organization will be in attendance at our event on May 6th.  We are thrilled to support this organization.
