The Honest Company Supports Local Pregnancy & Infant Loss Organization

April 19, 2012 - PRLog -- OC Walk to Remember, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping parents who have lost a baby in pregnancy and infancy, today announced The Honest Company as a sponsor. The Honest Company, co-founded by Golden Globe-nominated actress Jessica Alba, provides safe, natural, non-toxic, eco-friendly family products.

OC Walk to Remember hopes the sponsorship by The Honest Company will create more awareness and support for pregnancy and infant loss. One in four pregnancies ends with the death of a baby. Millions of babies die each year due to miscarriage, stillbirth, SIDS and other medical issues that make them incompatible with life.

"As a mother, my heart breaks for parents who have lost a child," says Jessica Alba, Co-Founder of The Honest Company. "One of our core goals at The Honest Company is to support families and sponsoring the OC Walk to Remember is just one small way we can help."

"It's often impossible to know why these fatalities happen," says Christopher Gavigan, Co-Founder of The Honest Company. "But, we do know that populations exposed to certain toxic chemicals experience higher rates of loss. The Honest Company is committed to reducing these exposures."

The funds raised by OC Walk to Remember make it possible for nearly twenty hospitals and support groups to give parents the help needed after the death of a baby.

“We are grateful for the support of The Honest Company” said Kristyn von Rotz, Cofounder and Executive Director of OC Walk to Remember. “Losing a baby is devastating and something parents should not go through alone. Sponsorships like these allow us to continue our mission of helping grieving families.” Von Rotz, an Orange resident, started the organization after her son Joseph died at birth in 2004.

The 8th Annual OC Walk to Remember Memorial Service, 5K Walk and Celebration of Angels will take place October 6, 2012 at The District at Tustin Legacy. Last year nearly 2,000 participants came in support of pregnancy and infant loss. The Honest Company will provide samples of their products at this year’s event.
