Reed Smith LLP - Center City

Thank you for visiting our 2025 Reed Smith Team page!  

Hello!  My name is Annette Rapinesi and I have been the Captain for our Reed Smith Philadelphia office team for 34 years! We have raised over $219,000.00 in these past years and we are so happy to be a part of this important fundraiser.  In the past we had Blue Jeans Days in the office, raffles and our walkers and runners who get sponsors and walk to raise money for babies!  This year I sell pretzels in the office every Wednesday and all the money goes to the March of Dimes at the end of the year!

This year, March for Babies: A Mother of a Movement™ has a bold new vision. More than just a walk, it’s our entry into making a visible difference in our community now and for generations to come.

By participating in March for Babies, we are lifting up communities for health equity, opening the door for all moms to have access to care and protecting the health of families by pushing for their rights. It’s no small feat—it’s a mother of a movement!

Please join our team today, create an online fundraising page and let everyone know that you’re helping to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy.  On the morning of Saturday, April 5, come on down to the Navy Yard, bring your family and raise money for Mom's and Babies!  

This year our goal is to raise $7,500…  

Date:  April 5, 2025 - Saturday

Time:  Run starts at 8:00 am; Walk starts at 9:30 but come earlier!  Lots going on!  

This year you can expect a number of family friendly activities throughout the entire morning. 

Please take a look at our pictures above - we go way back…  

If you need to ask me anything, please call me at 215-851-8117 or e-mail me at [email protected].

March for Babies events take place outdoors.

Saving Babies Together,

Annette and the Reed Smith Walk Team
