Our team, Igwebuike, is part of the movement to create positive change for moms and babies everywhere, especially those most at risk. “Igwebuike” is an Igbo phrase and motto that means, “unity is strength”. This is a phrase that denotes the strength in community, and identity being fostered through the collective efforts of one's community. As a community, we hope to rally together in pride of culture and pride in community to support the cause for the March for Babies fundraising walk, showing that no one is left behind regardless of ethnicity.
With preterm birth, infant death, and maternal death rates continuing to rise in the United States, we’re committed to raising funds so that every family gets the best possible start. And you can help us.
Please visit our fundraising page to make a donation. if you would like to join the team and walk with us, you can do so via this page and from the team WhatsApp group here: https://chat.whatsapp.com/DbicDDpQyLKCnvd3yqVcq1. All are welcome!
Together, we’ll be part of a movement to make America a more equitable place and ensure that every mom and baby is healthy. Maka nkwado ụmụ nwanyị na ụmụaka! (English: For the support of women and children!)
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!
