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
We welcome rain here in drought-stricken California and we will walk rain or shine to honor and celebrate our little ones at March for Babies this weekend. Welcome to March for Babies Sacramento! We meet on the West Steps of the State Capital for an inspirational launch by our March for Babies 2014 Chair Alex Gonzalez President of Sac State. The walk leaves from Capitol Mall and continues through Old Sacramento onto Front Street. You will end up on 13th Street, which will take you on a 3 mile route that concludes on 10th Street, back at the West Steps of State Capitol. This is the festival zone where music will be playing and we will have lots of activities for the kids! March for Babies is our biggest fundraising event of the 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 the health of babies.

Our ambassador

 

 

Meet Aidan Lamothe

Aidan came into the world on October 12, 2007, 12 weeks early and weighing just 3 lbs. Today, he is an adventurous 6-year-old who loves to play soccer and baseball, and doing gymnastics. To honor the doctors and nurses who saved his life, he visits the newborn intensive care unit (NICU) every year on his birthday. As the March of Dimes 2014 National Ambassador, Aidan and his parents will travel the country to share his story and help raise awareness of premature birth.
