rooms in Togo. Currently, without a surgical center, if an emergency C-section is needed to be performed during childbirth, the mother has to be transported to a hospital miles away risking both the mother and child during the long commute. These rooms would allow for surgical procedures, like C-sections, to be performed by trained on-site doctors. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.globalpartnersinhope.com\/copy-of-impact\">Learn more about these sustainable initiatives<\/a> from GPiH to improve the lives of women and children in West Africa.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Help Us Hit Our Goal<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our goal of $100,000 for the #DoGoodTogether initiative wouldn\u2019t be possible without your support! Whether you\u2019re adding Complete services this fall, helping to share our initative, or share what Complete can offer for those planning a wedding, support is appreciated on all levels! When you book any service this September or October (DJ, photography, videography, uplighting, coordination, or photo booth), a portion of the proceeds will go towards building surgical rooms to save women and children during childbirth. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Complete Weddings + Events has been in partnership with Global [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":89,"featured_media":23266,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23261","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-press"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Do Good Together \u2022 Complete&#039;s Annual Fundraiser - Complete Weddings &amp;
