de Cavel Family Sids Foundation

The de Cavel Family SIDS Foundation was formed by Jean-Robert de Cavel and Annette Pfund-de Cavel after the abrupt death of their firstborn chiId, Tatiana, to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Described as their "miracle baby," Tatiana was one of roughly  2,000 infants who lose their lives to SIDS each year.

Since her death in 2002, the money raised by the de Cavel Family SIDS Foundation has worked to support educational programs that spread awareness about SIDS. We work with organizations like Cradle Cincinnati and Cribs for Kids, making sure new parents know the risk factors associated with SIDS, providing cribs to families in need and promoting safe sleep programs for new parents.

Additionally, we host an annual Friends & SIDS Family Brunch at the Midwest Culinary Institute at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College. The event brings over 30+ local restaurants and businesses together to share their talent , passion and time to support our foundation. Due to COVID -19, we are unable to host this fundraising event this year but hope you will join us to support eat. play.give for future generations.

With your help, we will reach a future where SIDS no longer claims the lives of our children.
