About Us:
First Candle is a national
non-profit organization whose
mission is to
promote safe pregnancies and the
survival of babies through the first
years of life. With programs of
research, education and advocacy,
our
goal is to ensure that every baby
lives to celebrate not only his or
her first birthday, but many happy
birthdays beyond.
Despite tremendous success at
reducing SIDS rates by more than 50
percent during the past decade, SIDS
remains the leading cause of
death for infants one month to one
year of age. In addition, more than
26,000 families are devastated by
stillbirth each and every year. More
than 50 percent of these deaths
occur during the last trimester of
pregnancy, many with no obvious
explanation for the death. Clearly,
there is much work to be done.
