The Wisconsin Chapter of MPI has chosen to support The Shaken Baby Association, Inc. as the chapter’s spring community outreach effort. The Shaken Baby Association’s mission is to protect the lives of children in Wisconsin through prevention, education and advocacy. Contributions make this possible.

Shaken baby syndrome is a term used to describe symptoms resulting from violent shaking or impacting of the head of an infant or small child. Approximately 20% of cases are fatal in the first few days after injury. The majority of the survivors are left with handicaps ranging from learning disorders, behavioral changes to profound mental and developmental retardation, paralysis, blindness, inability to eat or exist in a permanent vegetative state.

We’d like to share with you the story of Evan Coleman, the grandson of Susan Kainz, MPI member and corporate sales manager with the Wyndham Milwaukee Center Hotel. Evan’s story as well as background information on Shaken Baby Syndrome will be provided at the February and March MPI Chapter meetings.

We are asking for your consideration of a gift to support this very worthwhile cause. Donations can be made throughout the months of February and March with 100% of the donation going directly to The Shaken Baby Association. We hope we can count on you to help. Please visit http://www.mpiwi.org/ to make a donation online or bring your donation to the next Chapter meeting.

If you have any questions or would like additional information, please contact Susan Kainz at 414-291-4765 susankainz@wyndhammilwaukee.com or Sara Kern, sales manager, The Abbey Resort at 262-275-9082 kern@TheAbbeyResort.com
