September was an incredible month of awareness, generosity, and community connection—and it’s all thanks to YOU. Together with our partners, sponsors, and amazing Ambassadors, we raised vital funds and awareness to support families navigating the challenges of the NICU.
Because of your kindness, more families will receive the financial assistance they need for everyday living expenses, medical costs, and memorial support during times of unimaginable loss.

Reflecting on the Importance of NICU Awareness Month
There are certain times each year that we focus our attention on special groups of people that live and work among us. One of these times is the month of September which is designated as NICU Awareness Month. NICU Awareness Month is a time when we at Madelyn’s Fund seek to honor the many professionals working in our local NICU’s as well as both honor and consider the needs of the families and babies being cared for in these NICU’s both today and in the future.

Madelyn’s Fund is excited to announce the return of its NICU Awareness Month Ambassador Program this September. This initiative invites passionate community members and businesses to join forces in raising awareness and vital funds for families navigating the challenges of the NICU.
“By becoming a NICU Awareness Month Ambassador, you are directly impacting families who need it most while honoring the memory of little ones gone too soon,” says Rachel Lee, co-founder of Madelyn’s Fund. “Our ambassadors help shine a light on the needs of NICU families and the amazing work of their caregivers.”
