Supporting March of Dimes means helping protect the health of moms and babies—before, during, and after pregnancy.
They focus on preventing complications like premature birth, birth defects, and maternal health issues. The U.S. still has higher rates of these problems than many other countries, so this work is critical.
Premature birth is one of the leading causes of infant death. March of Dimes funds research and programs to reduce early births and improve outcomes for babies born too soon.
They invest in scientific research that has led to breakthroughs like newborn screening and better prenatal care practices.
They provide education, advocacy, and resources for families—especially those facing high-risk pregnancies or time in the NICU.
They work to close gaps in maternal and infant health, especially for Black and underserved communities who are disproportionately affected.
They push for laws and policies that improve healthcare access, maternity leave, and insurance coverage for moms and babies.
March of Dimes is dedicated to bringing people together to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time. More than a series of walks, March for Babies is an annual tradition that supports moms and babies every day, every step of the way.
March for Babies connects friends, families, and coworkers to improve the health of families nationwide. Together with March of Dimes, each step forward brings us closer to a healthy future for all.
Thank you for your support!
