why march for babies

When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. 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 our babies. We’ve been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $1.8 billion to benefit all babies.

look who’s walking.

March for Babies is America’s favorite walking event! You’ll be joining 1 million people walking with their families or co-workers in more than 900 communities. Expect to run into some old friends and make new ones!

 

 

 

The March of Dimes spends 76¢ of every dollar you raise in March for Babies to support research and programs that help babies begin healthy lives. Meet baby Alex and learn what we’ve already done to help.
