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.

For more information, please contact Alexis James at [email protected] or (330) 442-4523.

To join the fun and enjoy the zoo all day, we’re asking each participant to register and raise a minimum of $5 per person. Your support makes a difference for moms and babies!

Please park in the Tiger and Otter Lot. Handicap parking is the Stork lot.
