March for Babies is the March of Dimes premier fundraising event that benefits all babies. Started in 1970, it’s the original walking event, raising money to fund important research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and give hope to the families of babies born too soon or sick.
Last year, the 2008 Triangle March for Babies had 6,000 participants that raised more than $525,000.
