* BOLD, Birth On Labor Day, www.boldaction.org, is a global initiative to help improve maternity care to be mother-friendly by using the arts to inspire communities to educate themselves, speak their truth and take action on maternity care issues. This grass-roots event raises awareness and provides a fundraising opportunity for organizations and individuals to support mother initiated dialogue and solutions to today’s maternity care problems.

* BOLD, Sponsorship Opportunities
We encourage community members who support a Mother-Friendly maternity care philosophy, www.motherfriendly.org, to BE BOLD and take the opportunity to support the development of Emerald Waters Birth Center.

Sponsorship and donation options are available here:

In addition, you can honor a woman who supported you during your birth through a special MOM message.
