Acadiana Breastfeeding Coalition is excited to be a host for THE GLOBAL BIG VIRTUAL LATCH ON 2020. Each year, ABC hosts a location in conjunction with our World Breastfeeding Week celebration event. This year's Latch On event will be held virtually via ZOOM on Saturday, August 1st, 2020. Celebrations may look and feel a little different this year, as most of them are virtual, but we are still here supporting you. Going virtual and digital with breastfeeding help has only driven us to be even more dedicated to promoting breastfeeding
in Acadiana. So, who's ready to #latchdat ?

ABC is proud to support Maddie's Footprints by providing a Nursing Station/Baby Changing Tent at their annual Footprint's Forever 5k & 1Mile Run/Walk.
This year's run will be virtual, due to COVID-19 restrictions. Many of our ABC members hold Maddie's close to their hearts and participate in the walk each year. Since their is no need for a tent this year, we would like to help raise funds and get as many virtual participants as possible on TEAM #latchdat ! Funds raised by Footprints Forever 5k will help provide financial and emotional support to families in the Acadiana area who have experienced the loss of an infant.
2020 VIRTUAL Footprints Forever 5k
When: Saturday, October 17, 2020
Where: Right out your front door!
Because this is a virtual event, you get to pick your own course to RUN, WALK, JOG or ROLL 3.1 miles.
Participants are encouraged to post pictures of their group covering miles for our babies!

"Climb Out of the Darkness" Lafayette
https://facebook.com/events/s/online-climb-out-of-the-darkne/187390985815741/?ti=icl
The Climb Out of the Darkness the world's largest event raising funds and awareness for the mental health of new families operated by Postpartum Support International. The Climb is a community walk and international fundraiser for survivors, providers, and members of the community to come together.
Raising awareness for perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, The Climb brings our community together to shine a light on a darkness we often don't speak about. Perinatal mood and anxiety disorders are the most common complication of pregnancy and childbirth.
This year we will be doing a #homemadeclimb. We are asking for people to chalk their walk or decorate their space with messages of hope and support and share it on social media. We will share stories of hope and celebrate recovery as we raise awareness and give a voice to those who no longer have one and come together virtually to symbolize our 'Climb' Out of the Darkness.
