Help Support ICAN at the 2011 Lancaster Baby and Toddler Expo!!

ICAN of Lancaster is very excited to announce that we will be an exhibitor at this years Baby and Toddler Expo to be held November 4-5, 2011 at the Lancaster Convention Center!

A fellow Doula and I partnered as exhibitors for last years expo and I have to say it was a great experience! Hats off the the Lancaster News Paper for organizing a great event. The 2010 expo was the first of it's kind for downtown Lancaster and I was very impressed at the diversity of the exhibitors and vendors. We at ICAN thought this would be a great opportunity to spread the word that we are here, here for the mothers of Lancaster county!

Lancaster has had it's own local ICAN chapter since April of 2010 and holding monthly informational and support meetings since July of 2010. But, unfortunately, meeting turn outs have been low, despite our website, Facebook page and fliers posted around town. With a national average cesarean rate of 34% we know that there are women out there who could use our support and resources! So how do we make ourselves known? This is a great opportunity for ICAN to reach out to all those mamas in need!

ICAN is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to improve maternal-child health by preventing unnecessary cesarean sections through education, providing support for cesarean section recovery, and promoting Vaginal Birth After Cesarean (VBAC).

As we are a nonprofit organization and run solely on membership and donations we need your help to fund this amazing opportunity. ICAN of Lancaster needs to raise approximately $350 to pay for our booth fee and supplies! That's not that much, I know we can do it with your help! And the payoff is priceless when you consider all the mothers and babies we'll be helping.

Please make your tax deductible donation by clicking on the donate now button. Any amount is greatly appreciated!!! Thank you for your support of ICAN and our mission.

BONUS!!! Everyone who makes a donation is entered to win 2 free tickets to the 2011 Baby and Toddler Expo! It's super fun for the whole family. Please check out their website for more information on this years featured exhibitors and activities!
