KPMG - Houston

Let's get moving! Whether you march with us or support from afar, we want you to join this "movement".

When you March for Babies, you help raise awareness for and fund research to find solutions and advocate for policies that prioritize maternal and baby health. The March of Dimes improves the health of mothers and babies through:

• education on healthy pregnancy;
• prenatal care;
• services to reduce the risk of premature birth and other poor birth outcomes;
• support for families with babies in NICU;
• and the MoM and Baby COVID-19 Intervention and Support Fund.

Supporting March for Babies aligns with KPMG Values and Accelerate 2025 commitment as it serves to reduce intersectional inequities across gender, class, race, and ethnicity. Did you know?!

• 5 million women live in maternity care deserts - counties with no hospitals offering obstetric services.
• Women of color are up to 50% more likely to experience a preterm birth compared to white women.
• Children of women of color can face a 130% higher infant death rate.
• In the U.S., Black women have maternal death rates 3x higher than women of other races or ethnicities.
• American Indian/Alaska Native women experience the second highest rates of pregnancy-related deaths.
• 2 women will die from pregnancy-related causes today. And every day.
• 2 babies die every hour in the U.S.
• The societal cost of preterm birth is $25.2 billion per year.
