Important Update

Our March for Babies celebration is still on, but it looks a little different! We are rapidly preparing for a new, virtualized event that will be fun and engaging for everyone. This change in format aligns with the newly released CDC guidance for large events, to help ensure the safety and health of our participants. More details on our new format to come soon!

 
 
 
 
ABOUT MARCH FOR BABIES
When we walk in March for Babies, we give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. The money we raise supports programs in our community, like CenteringPregnancy, that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. If something goes wrong, we offer information and comfort to families. Most importantly, it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. March for Babies 2015 in Ascension Parish will occur on Saturday, March 28th, 2015. The walk will begin and end at the Fire Department located at 724 W. Orice Roth Rd. in Gonzales. Company and Family teams may begin setting up tents at 7:00am. After a short program, the winner of the T-Shirt contest and the online contest will lead the walk at 8:30am. Festivities will continue after the walk with games and activities for the children, Jenny Heroman and the Something Blue Band and jambalaya provided by past champion, Scott Duplechein. To register your team, please visit www.marchforbabies.org or call Genevieve Pearson at 225-249-5082.

Meet Elijah

Born early at 25 weeks and 1 day in 2002, weighing just over 1 pound and measuring 11 inches long, Elijah Jackson spent 7 months in a newborn intensive care unit (NICU). He pulled through after surgery to close a duct between his heart and lungs, a tracheotomy and a procedure to correct reflux disease. He also received surfactant therapy, developed in part with funding from the March of Dimes, to strengthen his tiny lungs. When he left the hospital, he needed a ventilator and oxygen for 2 more years. Today, Elijah is a happy, healthy 12-year-old boy who enjoys school and is an avid sports fan. He is serving as the 2015 National Ambassador with his parents, Elise and Todd Jackson.
