Alliance Advisory Group joins March of Dimes effort

The Western New York Chapter of the March of Dimes has gained the support of Alliance Advisory Group, Inc. as a new Mission Sponsor for 2007.

Premature birth and low birth weight are leading causes of death in the first month of life. It is a major determinant of illness and disability among infants, including developmental delays, chronic respiratory problems, and vision and hearing impairment. Each year in Western New York, 12 percent of babies are born premature.

With its donation of $10,000, Alliance Advisory Group is committed to putting an end to premature birth.

"We are delighted to have Alliance Advisory Group become part of our sponsorship program," said Jeff Bernacki, executive director of the WNY Chapter of the March of Dimes. "Corporate sponsors like Alliance can really help to make a difference in our community."
