It's About Us -
The National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to supporting families of multiple birth children through education, research, and networking.
The National Organization of Mothers of Twins Clubs, Inc., is very excited about our fourth annual Multiple Birth Awareness month in April 2012. Our objective is to help spread the word of the services provided by our organization through research, education and support from local community clubs.
In support of our mission:
In partnering with local support groups, health care providers, researchers, and educators, and with the highest standards of integrity, respect and professionalism, we endeavor to aid parents of multiples and to raise public awareness of the unique qualities of multiple birth families.
NOMOTC will be working with our member clubs in planning local and national events in support of educating our communities about the wonderful world of multiples. Additionally, these events help to spread the word about the support groups and networks exisiting today which can provide ongoing support.
It's About You -
Each of you — local support groups, educators, medical professionals, and media personnel — play a critical role in this endeavor. During April 2012, we are asking
that you involve your local community by planning events to raise the awareness of multiple births while celebrating these special individuals and their families.
Our 2012 goal is to double the number of clubs that share their local events and celebrations with other clubs on our MBA website.
NOMOTC has put together this Multiple Birth Awareness Kit to help you get started. It includes event ideas, press releases, flyers, and communications that can be used in planning and executing your local awareness efforts. Each event, no matter how big or small, makes a difference. By joining together, we can make a lasting impact.

Join us in April 2012 and help create
an awareness that lasts a lifetime,
and start a tradition for years to come.
