About March for Babies

March for Babies is Saturday, April 13, 2019 for Alachua March for Babies at Signature Sponsor - CELEBRATION POINTE!

The walk is approximately 3 miles long starting at Celebration Pointe and going over the Bridge. HOPE, REMEMBER, and CELEBRATE will have Mission Stations sponsored by our Top Sponsors, lots of fun activities before and after the walk, and the BIGGEST PICNIC PARK event in Gainesville with over 25 Restaurants and Vendors!

March for Babies brings people together through events across the country and online while raising critical funds to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a yearly walk, March for Babies is a community. Families, friends, and co-workers can connect while raising critical funds for research, education, advocacy, and programs and services so moms and babies get the best possible start. Because together, each step forward leads to a healthy future for us all. March for Babies. Every step counts!
