why march for babies

Family teams are the heart of our event. Made up of friends and family members, they walk to celebrate, honor or remember the babies and children who have touched their lives. Everyone has their own story, but we all share the same goal — stronger, healthier babies.

Join thousands of families who participate in March for Babies in their communities. Share a meaningful and fun experience together.

family team captains

Team Ryan
“After losing Elliott at 16 days old, we were determined to raise money and awareness so no parent has to experience the loss of a child and to show that we can make a difference by supporting the March of Dimes — Elliott’s twin sister, Addison, is proof that their work saves lives. Last year, we raised more than $49,000 with the help of company matches, and placed #3 in the nation for family teams.”

Team Isom
"Our son Brody was born unexpectedly at 34 weeks, and he struggled. He is now a healthy 6-year-old and the inspiration for our team. Because all moms and dads should be blessed with healthy, full-term babies, I also raise awareness about premature birth and recruit other families to raise money to support the March of Dimes mission."

Team Mcgaughy
“Since giving birth to our twin sons 16 weeks early, losing our first born, and watching our surviving son’s 109-day struggle in the NICU, our family has been dedicated to raising money for the March of Dimes. Our team has raised more than $60,000 in 2 years, and we challenge all families affected by prematurity to raise awareness and money so no family has to experience what we have.”

Team Turnbull
“We were devastated to lose our granddaughter, Lauren, who was born 16 weeks early in 2006. Lauren lived 21 days. Watching your daughter lose her child, our grandchild, was heartbreaking. We started raising money for the March of Dimes to help with the grieving process, and have continued walking to keep Lauren’s memory alive.”
