Newborn Hope, Inc. Newborn Hope provides resources for Colorado babies and families impacted by prematurity. Newborn Hope has raised more than 5 million dollars since 1973.
Our History
The first benefit luncheons (“November Noel”) held in Colorado Springs and Denver were launched by Zoya Dickins Miller in 1973 in memory of a premature baby with respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). The monies raised were used for RDS research. Fourteen years later, Newborn Hope was incorporated as a nonprofit organization, with the change in name reflecting the broader mission.
