Thanks to donations from 11 Upstate clubs and a $5000 Rotary International Simplified Grant Rotary District 7750 donated $10,500 to Cribs for Kids, a life-saving program for babies at risk for dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or accidental suffocation due to unsafe sleeping environments. The Cribs for Kids program is led by Safe Kids Upstate and the Infant Apnea Program at Greenville Hospital System Children's Hospital. This donation will support the continued work of Cribs for Kids in bringing free safe-sleep education and portable cribs to eligible Upstate families. Read More.
