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.

 

March of Dimes invites you to their Family Kick Off to jump start March for Babies!

Join us at Aiea Bowl (99-115 Aiea Heights Dr., Aiea, HI 96701) on Tuesday, March 31 from 5–8pm for bowling and fun in support of moms and babies.

RSVP to [email protected] or call 808-295-9023.

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!

Dax Kitashiro

Dax arrived at just 27 weeks, weighing only 1.5 pounds, due to his mom, Michelle, having preeclampsia and HELLP syndrome, a life-threatening pregnancy complication. He spent his first four months in the NICU enduring two surgeries, multiple blood transfusions and fighting for every milestone. “During that time, March of Dimes resources, emotional support, and hope carried our family through the uncertainty,” said Michelle. “Their programs for NICU families helped us navigate the challenges of premature birth and gave us a community that truly understood.“ Today, Dax is a thriving, energetic, and joyful 7-year-old who amazes his family – Michelle, his dad, Devin, and younger sister, Mila – with his strength and spirit. As Michelle said, “We are forever grateful to the doctors, nurses, and March of Dimes for walking beside us on this journey and helping our miracle baby grow into the incredible child he is today.”
