Every year, more than half a million babies are born prematurely and more than 120,000 are born with serious birth defects in the United Stats. Proceeds of this event help fund research to prevent premature births, birth defects, and infant mortality.

 

March for Babies, formally WalkAmerica is part of the March of Dimes. The march is held in 1,100 communities across the nation. Every year, 7 million compassionate people, including 20,000 company and family teams as well as national sponsors, participate. The event has raised more than $1.7 billion since 1970 to bring the March of Dimes closer to the day when all babies are born healthy and full term.
