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

 

Thank you to everyone who turned out for our 2025 March for Babies!

 

Perfect weather, perfect venue, and incredible support made for a great 55th Anniversary Mamapalooza celebration! We put our fight for the health of all moms and babies center stage as we walked to celebrate healthy babies, NICU grads, babies on-the-way or still just a thought. We honored babies born preterm or with birth defects and paid tribute to moms and babies we’ve lost. 

 

Check your email for a survey that went out after walk. We’re always looking for ways to improve the March for Babies experience for all supporters. Please take a few minutes to send us your feedback. 

 

As a March for Babies community, we’re better together. We’re stronger together. We're louder together. We’re still striving to reach goal, so please continue to fundraise, donate, and bring others to our cause to help us raise money for the fight!
