Join the March of Dimes and be a champion for all babies. You can help the March of Dimes ensure a healthy future for all babies by taking steps in March for Babies.
WalkAmerica, the first national walk and the country’s best-loved walking event since its beginnings in 1970 is the March of Dimes largest fundraiser and has been renamed March for Babies. The new name makes a clear connection to what the March of Dimes is all about – the health of babies. In addition to a new name, March for Babies has a new Web site. Interested walkers and donors can visit marchforbabies.org or call toll-free 1-800-525-9255 to sign up as an individual, start a corporate, family or friends team, or donate to help babies be born healthy.
In Michigan, March for Babies will take place from April 19th through May 17th at twenty-eight locations throughout the state. Residents can sign up today to help fund lifesaving research and educational programs aimed at helping moms have healthy babies. Last year, 25,000 Michigan residents participated, raising $3.5 million across the state. In Michigan funds raised by March for Babies supports community grant programs, NICU programs, NICU Family Support, community projects for high risk women and educational awareness campaigns.
March for Babies is a rain or shine event. Only in the case of lightning or severe storms, will a March for Babies event be cancelled. For more information, contact the Michigan Chapter office at 248-359-1550 and register today!
