Important Update

Our March for Babies celebration is still on, but it looks a little different! We are rapidly preparing for a new, virtualized event that will be fun and engaging for everyone.

About March for Babies

Every step counts.

March for Babies is a campaign that connects millions of Americans united to improve the health of moms and babies in your community and across the country.

Together, we can give families the health information and resources they need throughout their pregnancies, and fund groundbreaking research to transform lives. We’re also advocating for policies to keep moms and babies healthy and strong.

Because together with March of Dimes, each step forward leads to a healthy future for us all.

By participating in this March of Dimes event, you assume all risks related to attendance and acknowledge and consent to the event terms, including but not limited to March of Dimes' liability waiver and health and safety guidelines, as set forth in detail here.

The Gaidos Family

It's hard to believe that it has been over a year since our 3lb miracle had to enter this world 10 weeks early to save his mom's life. The array of fears we faced that day and for so many to follow, still resonates deeply in our family and probably always will. But with each passing day, and with each milestone Levi achieves, we're reminded how lucky we are. The month of March includes Levi's "Come Home Day" from the NICU- the best day of our family's lives, and yet a day some families never get to celebrate. This April we will march for the health of all moms and babies, and we ask that you join us in the fight.
