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
Welcome to Greater Columbus March for Babies! The 2015 March for Babies has moved to COSI, Genoa Park and the Downwotown Riverfront this year! We meet at COSI and Genoa Park where our walk is kicked off! The walk will take you across to the Dowtown Riverfront and back, where you'll find our March for Babies Kids Zone with bounce houses, games, sports activities and more! We'll also feature a DJ for dancing, great food and fun for the whole family! March for Babies is our biggest fundraising event of the year, and we can’t wait for you to celebrate with us! The money you raise supports programs in your community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten the health of babies. So come out and join us in this great celebration of babies!

Meet Mason and his family

Matt and Julie expected a routine pregnancy. Due to medical concerns, Julie was placed on bed rest and received steroid injections to help her son’s lungs mature faster. Mason entered the world 12 weeks early weighing 1 lb. 10 oz. Mason received surfactant therapy to help him breathe through his immature lungs, a treatment discovered through March of Dimes funded research. After 7 ½ weeks in the NICU, Mason came home. Today, he is a bright, energetic 7 year old. His parents walk in March for Babies to help create a future where all babies are born happy and healthy.
