Affiliate Marketers Raise Funds to Save Babies from Premature Birth and Birth Defects

BERKELEY HEIGHTS, N.J., MAY 31, 2007 – Affiliate Summit Corporation, the largest conference and tradeshow for the Affiliate Marketing industry today launched AffiliateHug.com to raise funds for the March of Dimes, a nonprofit health organization that works to prevent premature birth and other serious threats to infant health. 

Premature birth affects more than half a million babies in the U.S. every year.  It's the #1 cause of newborn death, and babies who survive may suffer lifelong consequences, such as cerebral palsy, mental retardation, chronic lung disease, and vision and hearing loss.

“We believe that the March of Dimes is a great choice for the Affiliate Marketing industry's charitable efforts because we all have families,” said Missy Ward, Co-Founder of Affiliate Summit.

AffiliateHug.com, a product of joint collaboration with Affiliate Summit and Scott Hazard, President of Brightside Media, Inc. leverages Mr. Hazard's unique ability to render support and comfort to others through his magnum opus, the ScooterSqueeze™.

For an online donation of $20.00, individuals will receive a certificate entitling them to one (1) ScooterSqueeze™ and a “Freshly Squeezed” commemorative t-shirt.  Certificates can be redeemed at the Affiliate Meet Market on Sunday, July 8, 2007 during the Affiliate Summit 2007 East Conference at the Intercontinental Hotel in Miami.  Quantity packages are also available at discount rates. 

All proceeds will go directly to support the March of Dimes.

In addition to sponsoring the March of Dimes with a tax deductible contribution, all donors will be acknowledged at AffiliateMarketersCare.com.
