Apple Valley Unified School District Supports March for Babies

Right now, babies need all the help they can get. Premature birth affects about 380,000 babies here in the United States. In one year in the Inland Empire…

  • 5,666 babies are born prematurely (9.4% compared to Calif. rate of 8.8%)
  • 1,817 babies are born with a birth defect
  • 340 babies die before their first birthday

Fighting birth defects, premature birth and infant loss is important to us and supports the future of our children. Prematurity can cause long-term health problems for babies that can affect a child's education. Premature babies are more likely to have learning problems throughout childhood and about 1 in 3 children born prematurely needs special school services at some point during their school years. By supporting March of Dimes, we are working toward giving each of our children the best start possible toward a future of success.  March of Dimes works to reduce the premature birth rate through research and programs that help give every baby a fighting chance. 

We’re walking in March for Babies to get the message out about this terrible problem and you can help. Please make a secure donation to help us reach our goal. Together we can help the March of Dimes fight prematurity so more babies can get the strongest start possible.
