ABOUT MARCH OF DIMES: MARCH FOR BABIES
WHY WE WALK:
When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to nearly half a million babies born too soon each year. The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. The March of Dimes March for Babies has been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $2.3 billion to benefit all babies. (www.marchforbabies.org)
FAMILY TEAMS:
Family teams are the heart of our event. Made up of family members and friends, they walk to celebrate, honor or remember the little ones who have touched their lives. Everyone has their own story, but each shares the same goal — stronger, healthier babies. Last year, nearly 4 million babies were born, and each and every one was helped by March of Dimes research, vaccines, education and breakthroughs. Thanks to dedicated people like you, every dollar we raise in March for Babies helps more babies begin healthy lives. Communities come alive with joy and hope when thousands of families join March for Babies. We look forward to walking with you. (www.marchforbabies.org)
