4b4the4th

Hello, I'm Adam Sutherland and my family are members of the Spina Bifida Association of Iowa. I’ve just made a commitment to support the vital work of the Spina Bifida Association (SBA).  They launched an awareness and fundraising effort called 4b4the4th to support people with this troubling birth defect.

If you don’t know what Spina Bifida is, it is the most frequently occurring permanently disabling birth defect.  Every day about eight babies born in the United States have Spina Bifida or a similar birth defect of the brain and spine.

 Approximately 166,000 people in the United States are living with Spina Bifida. More children have Spina Bifida than have multiple sclerosis and cystic fibrosis combined.   Find out more information on this challenging and complex birth defect by visiting www.spinabifidaassociation.org.

 Now I would like you to join the cause. Support 4b4the4th by reaching out to 4, 14, 40, or 400 friends to each*donate $4, $14, $40, $400 or more b 4 the 4th of July (Get it?  Four before the 4th!). With your help, we will raise $30,000 to benefit SBA and let more people know about Spina Bifida.

 Please make a *donation of $4, $14, $40, $400 or more…

…oh, and while you’re at it, please forward this to 4, 14, 40 or 400 friends!


If you can please send people to this page, or directly to the SBAA.org donation page. Please use my name as team captian, so we know how much we've donated.

What will your donation provide?
