Families in our community and across the country are touched by the fundraising we do, and we won’t stop until we reach our goal of building a better future for us all. As a mother's organization we’re proud to help provide critical resources and programs to educate and empower moms so every baby can have the best possible start. We need you on our team. Together we can encourage more friends, family and supporters to join us to raise critical funds to tackle the biggest health threats facing moms and babies.
While racial and ethnic disparities in preganancy-related deaths have persisted over time, most deaths are preventable. The funds we raise are critical to fight for the health of moms and babies to ensure they get the best possible start. The March for Babies is more than just a fundraising walk, it is a time we come togehter to honor motherhood, babies and families.
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!
