If you are a parent who has conceived using Ferring Pharmaceuticals' fertility products, you can win a $10,000 education fund to support your child's future. Two other education fund prizes will also be awarded. To be eligible, all you need to do is write a brief essay. The topic is: If I Knew Then What I Know Now, explaining what advice you would give to other women who are coping with infertility and how you would describe your success using BRAVELLE® (urofollitropin for injection, purified) and/or MENOPUR® (menotropins for injection, USP) as part of your treatment plan.
Ferring's My Little Miracle Essay Contest is open to women who have been successfully treated with BRAVELLE® and/or MENOPUR®. The contest celebrates the miracle of birth for parents who have faced infertility, and carries on Ferring's tradition of supporting patients by offering education funds for the winners' children.
Ferring is also awarding a $7,500 education fund to the runner-up and $5,000 to an honorable mention winner. Since announcing the first contest in 2004, Ferring has awarded $128,000 in education funds.
Essays should not exceed 2,000 words. They must be written in English, include the entrant's name, address, phone number and age, as well as the child(ren)'s name(s) and age(s), and be submitted with a contest application and labeled digital photo.
