Dear JJOA Mothers and Family,
At Jack and Jill of America, Inc., we believe that strong families are the foundation of thriving communities, and at the heart of that strength is the health and well-being of mothers and their children. Guided by our mission to nurture future African American leaders, we are proud to partner with March of Dimes to address the disparities in maternal health outcomes that disproportionately impact African American women. Through this collaboration, we amplify mothers' voices, drive systemic change, and support research for healthier pregnancies.
This partnership is more than a campaign—it’s a movement driven by the collective power of our mothers, families, and chapters nationwide. Each year, our members come together to participate in March for Babies walks and other initiatives, raising critical funds that directly support March of Dimes’ mission to improve maternal and infant health. By sharing our stories and standing in solidarity, we are helping to create a future where every mother has access to the care she needs, and every baby has the opportunity to thrive.
We invite you to join us in this important mission. Whether by participating in a walk, supporting a fundraiser, or sharing your personal journey, your involvement makes a difference. Together, we can help close the gap in maternal health disparities and empower future generations to lead healthier, more fulfilling lives.
Thank you for your support and commitment to this cause.
Darlene McGhee Whittington,
Our 28th National President
