2024 Changemakers Event Auction

The 10th Annual Changemakers Event is one of the most sought-after Spring events in Des Moines. This 90-minute hybrid luncheon is impactful, fun, uplifting, and engaging. On this day we celebrate the Changemakers across the country who have helped us further our mission to educate healthcare providers and expectant parents on the importance of monitoring a baby's movement patterns in the third trimester of pregnancy. The Count the Kicks program is proven to improve birth outcomes for moms and babies. The Changemakers Luncheon is our largest fundraiser of the year, and all proceeds support our work to make stillbirth a maternal health tragedy of the past.

Our mission is to improve birth outcomes through programming, advocacy, and support. Health Equity is at the center of our work, with a goal to reduce the racial disparities that persist. We help save babies using the evidence-based Count the Kicks stillbirth prevention campaign, which educates expectant parents on the importance of tracking their babies’ movements in the 3rd trimester of pregnancy and to speak up if they notice a change.
