Family Teams March for Babies

why march for babies

Family teams are the heart of our event. Made up of friends and family members, they walk to celebrate, honor or remember the babies and children who have touched their lives. Everyone has their own story, but we all share the same hope. The hope that one day all babies will be born healthy.

Join thousands of families who participate in March for Babies in their communities. Share a meaningful and fun experience together.

"We love online fundraising because it’s simple to do and we raise more money. In fact, we raised 75 percent of our funds just by sending out e-mails. As the Pennsylvania Ambassador Family, we hope to spread the word on how easy and fun this is."

Team Mackenzie Minney, Pittsburgh, Pa

"Our first child, Brayden Alec, was born at 23 weeks and lived only 19 days. By participating in March for Babies, we are able to share our story and educate people on all the great things the March of Dimes does to prevent babies from being born too soon."

"After Will was born 4 months early and spent 112 days in the NICU, I knew I wanted to do everything I could to prevent this from happening to other families. The March of Dimes fights for our babies’ lives and that’s a cause everyone should get involved in."

Craig Dexheimer
March for Babies Family Teams Chair, Maple Grove, Minn.

"I’ve participated in March for Babies since 2006, because I was a preemie. My friends, family and I know that the March of Dimes fights hard to help all moms and babies. I raise money by sending e-mails and telling everyone why I walk. You should give it a try!"

Jordan Horowitz
Top Youth Fundraiser, Los Angeles, Calif.
