On Tuesday, June 14th, UnityPoint Health was formally announced as the presenting sponsor for “Every Kick Counts,” an initiative of the “Count the Kicks” public health campaign aimed at teaching expectant parents the importance of monitoring their babies movements in the third trimester of pregnancy.

“Every Kick Counts” allows student athletes to give back to their communities and do something bigger than themselves by raising funds and awareness to improve birth outcomes.

Leaders from both organizations are proud to announce the special partnership leading up to Father’s Day.

Athletes who sign up can collect donations for “Count the Kicks” by receiving pledges for every score, punt, kick or success they have in their game.  Every time they succeed, they raise money and potentially save lives.  Athletes at all levels can leverage their personal networks and social media profiles to raise awareness for the cause.

Athletes looking to sign up, gather pledges, donate, or learn more can visit everykickcounts.com.
