Columbus, GA - August 15, 2007
Free-IVF.com, Inc., a registered 501(c) 3 nonprofit
organization based in Columbus, GA, that
provides financial support and services to
infertility sufferers in the continental United
States, is pleased to announce the launch of its
first annual fundraising initiative, the Send A
Stork Campaign.
The Send a Stork Campaign is designed to raise
general operating support for the organization.
The campaign goal is $50,000. In addition to
raising vital general operating support for the
organization, the Send A Stork Campaign will
also serve to heighten awareness of the
organization and its mission.
There are currently more than 7.3 million
Americans suffering from infertility. That
figure equates to 1 in 8 couples battling this
devastating health crisis. However, despite the
vast number of people suffering from this
disease, there is a serious lack of education
and a real need for increased awareness of the
causes of infertility, available treatment
options, and methods of prevention.
The cost of Assisted Reproductive Technology
(ART) including In Vitro Fertilization is
staggering. In fact, the national average cost
of infertility treatments is $15,000. Unlike
other diseases and their treatments, though,
infertility is not recognized by the medical
insurance industry. Without the aid of medical
insurance or other financial support systems,
the cost of infertility treatments precludes the
majority of the population suffering from this
disease from seeking treatment.
About Free-IVF.com
Free-IVF.com, Inc., a registered 501(c) 3
nonprofit organization based in Columbus, GA,
was founded in 2005 in response to the gross
lack of resources available to infertility
sufferers of average or limited economic means.
Free-IVF.com provides much needed financial aid,
educational resources, and guidance to
infertility sufferers, thereby filling a
critical need in the community.
