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!
Join Us for March for Babies: Every Step Counts™!
March for Babies isn’t just a walk — it’s your chance to make a real, lasting impact on your community. Every Step Counts™ toward creating a more equitable future for all. Your participation supports health equity, ensures access to care for every mom, and champions the rights of families everywhere.
Start or join a team today, create your fundraising page, and share your commitment to making the world a healthier, more supportive place for moms and babies. Together, we can make a difference now and for generations to come. This year's walk is May 9th at Byrd Park in Richmond.
This year, we’re excited to bring our community together in even more ways! In addition to our Richmond walk, there will be a volunteer lead community walk in Norfolk at Plum Point Park — giving even more families and supporters the opportunity to get involved.
Both events will open at 8:00am, with the walk beginning at 9:00am, so you can choose the location that works best for you!
There will be crafts, light snacks, and more to keep everyone entertained as we come together for this important cause. Register to stay up to date on event happenings!
Join us as we come together to celebrate every family’s journey and honor the loved ones who are always in our hearts.
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!
