According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, approximately 3,400 infants die every year from sleep-related deaths. Theo Benjamin Wolf is one of those infants. Theo was a happy and healthy 12-week-old infant that was full of life and his smile was infectious. Tragically, in August 2019 Theo died at his daycare as a result of unsafe sleeping practices. The Theo Wolf Foundation is a non-profit organization that was established in March 2021 with a mission to promote and educate the public on infant safe sleep practices. By educating the public on infant safe sleep we hope to keep as many infants safe while sleeping and save another family from the heartbreak of losing a child.  

The Theo Wolf Foundation is organizing its 2nd annual family friendly Charity Walk and Family FUNdraiser on June 4, 2022 at Susan Clark Junior High in Muscatine, IA. This event is a celebration of Theo’s 3rd heavenly birthday as well as a fundraiser where all proceeds will be used for infant safe sleep education for the public. The goal of our Charity Walk is to raise awareness and promote safe sleep, one step at a time. Our Family FUNdraiser will include vendors providing education on infant safe sleep practices as well as having safe and fun family activities for the community to enjoy. 

Proceeds from this event will be used to provide Safe Sleep Kits to be given to parents of infants. The kits will include a HALO SleepSack embroidered with the Theo Wolf Foundation logo, a pacifier, a safe sleep baby book and safe sleep informational brochures.
