Darcell Scharff's Story
I am fundrasing for Generate Health who mission is to "build collective power to advocate for racially equitable policies and practices that center, support, and celebrate Black families throughout their pregnancy and parenthood journeys."
Did you know that Black babies are 2-3 times more likely to die than white women in St. Louis, depending on the zipcode they reside in. And Black women are more likely to die than white women, regardless of where they live.
I am fundraising for Generate Health because these disparities are unacceptable in 2023.

Standing Up for Black Mothers and Babies 2023
Standing Up For Black Mothers and Babies was created to shine a spotlight on inspiring efforts of local leaders to improve maternal and child health, and has become the premier celebration of racial equity-centered maternal and child health in St. Louis. This year’s in-person event seeks to build community among individuals and organizations that share a commitment to racial justice in maternal and infant health while inspiring attendees by the accomplishments of the award recipients and promoting the mission of Generate Health.
