      El gigante minorista ha recaudado más de $160 millones para ayudar a darles a todos los bebés un comienzo saludable

      WHITE PLAINS, Nueva York, 18 de julio de 2012 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ -- Por más de 30 años, los clientes y empleados de Kmart han ayudado a mejorar la salud de los bebés en asociación con March of Dimes, la principal organización sin fines de lucro para la salud de las madres y los bebés.

      I

      Hoy, Kmart es el contribuyente corporativo de más larga data de March of Dimes y en 2012 recaudó $8 millones en beneficio del trabajo de la organización para darles a todos los bebés un comienzo saludable en la vida. Con esto la contribución total del gigante minorista desde el inicio de la asociación, ya asciende a la extraordinaria cifra de $160 millones.

      Kmart, subsidiaria de entera propiedad de Sears Holdings, dice que ha hecho que trabajar en beneficio de la salud y bienestar de los niños sea un esfuerzo de toda la compañía, incluyendo la participación de la gerencia, los empleados y los clientes por medio de todas las actividades y eventos realizados en las tiendas. La conexión con March of Dimes se ha vuelto muy personal.

      Krista Allan, empleada de Sears Holdings, dio a luz con tres meses y medio de anticipación a gemelos, Colton y Keltie, cada uno pesando menos de dos libras.  Pasaron más de tres meses en la unidad de cuidados intensivos para recién nacidos del hospital, superando varios desafíos potencialmente mortales, dice Allan. "Son mis bebés de milagro. Me siento tan orgullosa de trabajar para una compañía que apoya a March of Dimes. Gracias a ese apoyo, pude celebrar mi primer Día de las Madres y agradezco al March of Dimes desde el fondo de mi corazón", dijo Allan.

      "Poder contar con la atención continua  y el compromiso bondadoso de los empleados y clientes de Kmart año tras año ha permitido que March of Dimes logre verdaderos avances en investigaciones y otros programas para mejorar la salud de las madres y los recién nacidos", dice la Dra. Jennifer L. Howse, presidenta de March of Dimes.

      Como el contribuyente corporativo más antiguo de March of Dimes, Kmart ha participado en programas que han ayudado a la nación a reducir en un  6 por ciento la tasa de nacimientos prematuros entre 2006 y 2010, ayudando a evitar la prematuridad y sus consecuencias para miles de bebés. Con todo, según nota la Dra. Howse, medio millón de babes todavía nacen de forma prematura todos los años, demostrando que queda mucho trabajo por hacer.

      A principios de año, March of Dimes reconoció a Kmart por su dedicación y logro del hito de $100 millones en fondos recaudados  con la creación de una subvención de $1 millón a nombre de la compañía para apoyar la investigación transdisciplinaria de los nacimientos prematuros. La subvención financiará estudios por científicos de muchas diferentes áreas que trabajan juntos para investigar áreas prometedoras incluyendo los biomarcadores genéticos maternos, la función y genética de la placenta, y las modalidades de los nacimientos prematuros en los Estados Unidos, entre otros.

      Por el vigésimo año consecutivo, Kmart fue un patrocinador nacional del evento anual March for Babies®, el cual fue celebrado en la primavera en casi 750 comunidades del país.
