- Long Island IVF’s “Extreme Family-Building Makeover” Contest
Want to win a free basic Micro-IVF cycle or other great prizes? Long Island IVF is kicking off National Infertility Awareness Week with the launch of its annual “Extreme Family-Building Makeover” Contest. The Grand Prize is a Free Micro-IVF cycle*! The contest will run from April 22, 2012 to August 26, 2012. Grand Prize Winner will be announced on Sept 4, 2012. Entering is easy, free, and fun. You do not have to be a current Long Island IVF patient to enter. There are three ways to enter: 1. By a post on the Long Island IVF Facebook page http://www.facebook.com/longislandivf ; 2) By a comment on the Long Island IVF blog TheFertilityDaily http://blog.longislandivf.com/ ; and 3) By a video on Long Island IVF’s You Tube channel (via email for pre-screen). Just tell us about your infertility journey and what winning a free Micro-IVF from Long Island IVF would mean to you. *Please refer to the complete contest rules prior to entering. http://www.longislandivf.com/
Each month (May, June, July and August), the best entry in each of the above three formats will receive a special gift or gift card (and will still be eligible for the Grand Prize). So, enter often. - Love Letter Campaign
Once upon a time, a trip to the mailbox required that you step away from your computer. Sometimes nestled among the bills you would find a colorful, hand written envelope with a special stamp on it and this would be the letter you would eagerly open first. Like a gift, this personal note or card could impact upon your day in a way that email rarely could. The American Fertility Association wants you to have this experience again. In unity with our community for National Infertility Awareness Week®, we invite you to opt in to our Love Letter Campaign. This is your opportunity to send a letter of support to another person who is trying to conceive, just like you. The Love Letter Campaign gives you a chance to support, and be supported by, someone who understands. To simply say, "I'm sorry for what you're going through. I understand. I'm going through it too" in a gentle, non-obtrusive way. For more information go to: http://www.theafa.org/article/love-letter/ - Roseville, CA -- Free IVF and Three Infertility Consultations Giveaway during NIAW
