Tyler For Life
Foundation Adopts New Name
Trees and plants must have good care and
maintenance to grow properly. Part of good care is routine pruning, which is done to train or direct the growth of plants into a particular form or
a specified space. Pruning plays an important role in improving overall health
and beauty of any foliage. Pruning trims and cuts away the older parts of the
plant allowing it to focus on the new growth in the proper form and direction.
In an effort to "grow" in the right direction, the Tyler For Life Foundation has adopted a new name. The Foundation is now known as Save Babies Through Screening Foundation, Inc. It's the overall feeling of our board of directors that the new name better states who are, what our goals are, and would better connect with all people. In particular, we hope to better connect with the four million families expecting babies this year.
The Tyler For Life Foundation will always be a part of who we are, and the boy who started it all, Tyler Wayne Mize, will never be forgotten. Save Babies Through Screening Foundation, Inc is a product of the enormous growth TFL has seen over the last few years and is a step towards encompassing all children that have lost their lives to newborn screening disorders, and those that we can still save. Although TFL has always represented all children affected by newborn screening disorders, it was perceived by many as a memorial organization to Tyler Mize. We hope that the new name will override this false perception and help the organization to continue its growth and reach new levels. The name Save Babies Through Screening Foundation, Inc reflects exactly what NBS advocates are here to do - save babies.
We know that many of you have questions about what this change will mean to you. The main change will be remembering to refer to us as Save Babies Through Screening Foundation, Inc. Secondly, how you contact us has changed. The toll free telephone line has stayed the same. However, the mailing address has changed - please visit the 'contact us' page for the current information. All email and website addresses have changed, and the new website is located at www.savebabies.org. You will need to update your bookmarks and web links accordingly. The old website addresses (tylerforlife.com and tylerforlife.org) will automatically forward to the new site for a while.
In addition, all Tyler For life Foundation email addresses (board of directors, departments, etc.) have changed as well. Visit our email directory to update your address books.
Although we know that it will take a little time for all those who have known us as the Tyler For Life Foundation to catch on to calling us Save Babies Through Screening Foundation, Inc, we feel it will be well worth it in the end.
From all of us here behind the scenes, we
hope you are ready to join us in our goal to Save
Babies Through Screening.
Sincerely,
Board Of Directors
