About March for Babies

 

It's time to get ready for our 2026 March for Babies walk!

 

Thank you to everyone who supported moms and babies through our 2025 event. Together, you helped us exceed our goal of $300,00 by raising more than $312,000! 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. 

 

Now it's time to prepare to help even more moms and babies in 2026. We realize that we're in challenging times. Some families are struggling to meet basic needs. Others are going above and beyond to help. And through it all, every day, babies are born. Some healthy, some early, some struggling. Moms are benefitting from our research while still in need of more answers to complex pregnancy issues. This is our fight. Thank you for taking steps to make a difference. 

 

As a March for Babies community, we’re better together. We’re stronger together. We're louder together. Registration is open for 2026. Join us.

 

 


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!
