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. This change in format aligns with the newly released CDC guidance for large events, to help ensure the safety and health of our participants. More details on our new format to come soon!

 
 
 
 
ABOUT MARCH FOR BABIES
Thank you to everyone who joined us for March for Babies Buffalo and the 2nd Annual Run for Babies Buffalo 5k! The weather was rain, cold, and a little gloomy, but the community came together to give HOPE, to REMEMBER, and to CELEBRATE our tiniest Western New Yorkers! On behalf of the families we serve, we are extremely grateful for your support. Fundraising continues through JUNE 30th, so if you haven't quite hit your team's goal or your personal goal, there is still time! Your online page remains open until the deadline to accept donations. You can also drop off outstanding donations to our office Monday - Thursday between 9:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. and Friday between 9:00 a.m. - 12 noon. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE TOP MALE OVERALL RUNNER, John, Feroleto AND THE TOP FEMALE OVERALL RUNNER, Melina Buck!
