SALT LAKE CITY, Oct. 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- On September 20th, USANA's China subsidiary, BabyCare, hosted the Angel
Heart Project conference in Beijing. The conference aimed to
celebrate the achievement of the project, and to draw awareness to
children's congenital heart disease. Representatives from China
Poverty Alleviation Office, National Health and Family Planning
Commission and China Foundation for Poverty Alleviation (CFPA)
showed their support by attending the conference and awarding
BabyCare the charity souvenir.
"Our government and party have emphasized the importance of
poverty relief. Through partnership with corporations like
BabyCare, we have worked together on helping children with
congenital heart disease in undeveloped areas and effectively
improved poor families' healthcare situations," said Jun Wang, Deputy Secretary General from
CFPA.
Congenital heart disease can be fatal for children, especially
from underprivileged families,
due to the inability to pay for surgeries needed to cure them.
In the last two years, the Angel Heart Project has raised over
6 million RMB and helped 215 children
recover from congenital heart disease. Because of the project, 215
families have been able to lead a normal, happy life.
"With the corporate culture of giving back in mind, BabyCare
will continue to help more people in need in the future." Said,
Frank Li, vice president of sales at
BabyCare.
To honor the efforts and accomplishment that BabyCare has made
for the Angel Heart Project, Su Meng
from China Poverty Alleviation Office and Xiaowei Hou from the National Health and Family
Planning Commission awarded BabyCare the charity souvenir.
Earlier this year, BabyCare was awarded the "Outstanding
Contribution Award"— along with Disney, Unilever, JP Morgan and
other prominent companies — for its contributions to China's poverty alleviation and public welfare
undertakings.
