About March for Babies
March for Babies
March for Babies brings people together through events across the country and online while raising critical funds to tackle America's maternal and infant health crisis—one person, one community, and one step at a time.
The US is among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth. When you participate, you're helping March of Dimes:
- Provide programs like NICU Family Support® for families with a baby in the NICU, and promoting healthy pregnancies with Supportive Pregnancy Care®.
- Deliver prenatal care where it's needed most with March of Dimes Mom & Baby Mobile Health Centers®.
- Fund research and innovation to address the most pressing maternal and infant health challenges.
- Educate healthcare professionals and families with information such as our Low Dose, Big Benefits™ campaign to inform about how low dose aspirin can support cardiovascular health.
- Advocate for legislation that protects all moms, babies, and families.
At events both in-person and virtual, participants rally to improve health outcomes for every mom and baby. Find an event near you or participate virtually at marchofdimes.org.
