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

This year you'll be joining thousands of people in cities across the country for March for Babies, and helping to raise critical funds to support research, advocacy and programs for the health of all moms and babies.

At March for Babies we come together to advocate for, empower and honor moms, families and babies everywhere.

Thank you for joining our community— we can’t do it without you!

We can’t wait to see you at March for Babies.


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!

The DiMarco Family

The DiMarco Family has an incredible story to share. Pictured are Gavin and Beckham, the second set of premature twins in the DiMarco Family. Gavin and Beckham were born at 30 weeks weighing only 3 pounds 6 ounces and 3 pounds. After spending 56 and 58 days in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), Gavin and Beckham were finally able to move home with their four older siblings and parents, Andy and Lisa. Gavin and Beckham are now happy and healthy two year olds keeping their parents on their toes and bringing so much love, laughter, and entertainment to the entire DiMarco Family. The DiMarco Family inspires us here at March of Dimes Minnesota every day. If the DiMarco's story inspires you too, then share your own March for Babies story on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram using the hashtag #MarchforBabies #GreaterTwinCities
