Awareness Hope Activism Gala for Infertility Awareness

Online, August 20, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The keys to changing African-American thoughts on infertility and reproductive health are Awareness, Hope, and Activism. On Friday, September 17, 2010, The Broken Brown Egg is asking, "Have you had an A.H.A. Moment?" Join us at our formal introduction to the community where we also seek to raise funds for the cause: The A.H.A. Gala for African American Infertility. The first annual gala seeks to address the inherent need for awareness and activism concerning minority infertility and reproductive health. The unique appeal of the gala is that it will raise funds for a Cade Foundation Family Building grant to be used for adoption or in-vitro fertilization expenses. This event is open to the public and will be held at the Loft on Lake, 1366 W. Lake Street., Chicago, Illinois. Individual tickets are $60.00 and $480.00 for a table of 8. Formal attire is requested. Please register at www.thebrokenbrownegg.eventbrite.com.

"The BrokenBrownEgg represents the brokenness of spirit that comes with infertility, the brokenness of information distributed to our community about infertility and reproduction," says Regina Townsend, Founder and Executive Director of The Broken Brown Egg Inc. NFP. "but it also represents the fact that without that brokenness, change can't come. You can't have an omelet, a cake, bread, etc., without breaking at least ONE egg. I've been broken....but I'm creating something BEAUTIFUL. A bread that will nourish my people."

The Broken Brown Egg was developed as a vehicle to begin cultivating more effective information and awareness for African-Americans and other minorities who face unique challenges when dealing with infertility. The organization is the brainchild of Regina Townsend and was first introduced as a blog in June of 2009. Since its inception, the organization has received positive support from Resolve,The National Infertility Association; Fertility Partnership, a growing fertility clinic located in Missouri; Family Acuity, a surrogacy and infertility consultation service, and many other family planning organizations. This event will be the signature celebration for the nonprofit, and we hope to see you there.
