The Alison Rose Foundation's mission is to raise funds to support amniotic fluid embolism research and medical care for children and mothers.
Tragically, on August 16th 2019 Alison Rose Waclawek passed away while giving birth to her daughter, Ada Rose Waclawek, due to a rare and often fatal condition called Amniotic Fluid Embolism. In a true miracle Ada Rose survived and is thriving. Alison brought so much love and light into this world that can never be replaced. This Foundation has been created to honor her memory and to try to continue her legacy. Our goal is to one day be able to prevent anyone from having to experience this same fate and to support any mother or child going through similar hardship. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
Since its inception, the Alison Rose Foundation has hosted several blood drives; helping collect hundreds of units of life-saving blood products. The organization also raises funds through events, including the Alison Rose Foundation golf tournament, and an annual appeal.
Because of YOUR ongoing support, we are able to proudly announce $85,000 in giving this year to incredible organizations supporting mothers and babies. With this round of giving, the Alison Rose Foundation has now totaled over $340,000 (!) in donations to hospitals, foundations, nonprofit organizations, and direct support to families. The full announcement can be found on the news coverage tab.
This week, we celebrated Ali's 38th birthday (October 22). We know she would be proud of the way that her family and friends have continued her meaningful legacy of positive community impact.
We truly feel like we have only begun to scratch the surface of the Alison Rose Foundation's potential. We can't thank you enough for your support.
