L’il Aussie Prems
“Wear Green for Prems”
April 2012
Wear green for prems is a yearly Facebook event held by L’il Aussie Prems as a day to celebrate all children born too soon where the whole family can participate.
After the success of our 6th April 2011 event with almost 20,000 people attending, they will be holding our “online” event to wear something green in April each year by inviting family and friends to wear something green as a day to celebrate all the precious children born early. You do not have to “attend” an event, all we ask is that you “wear” something green on the day whether it is to work, school etc.. Examples are a green hat, scarf, pants, top or even just a scrunchy. They have wrist bands available to wear on the day which you can purchase all year round.
Join our Facebook event page and be kept up to date!
