First Candle/SIDS Alliance

First Candle is a national nonprofit health organization uniting parents, caregivers and researchers nationwide with government, business and community service groups to advance infant health and survival. Together with our national network of members and partners, we are working to ensure that every baby is given the best possible chance to reach not only his or her first birthday, but many happy birthdays beyond.

With programs of research, education and advocacy, we are working to preventing stillbirth, SIDS and other sudden, unexpected infant deaths (SUID). Until we reach our goal of a future where all babies survive and thrive, we remain committed to providing compassionate grief support to all those affected by the death of a baby.
