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

Our country is facing an urgent maternal and infant health crisis. The U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for women and babies of color and maternal and infant mortality rates are on the rise. By joining our March of Dimes community and partiipating with us at March for Babies, you can help fund the research, programs, support and advocacy needed to turn the maternal and infant health crisis around and improve health for all moms and babies. 

March for Babies: A Mother of a Movement™ is your chance to step up to make a real difference in your community now and for generations to come.

  • YOU’RE UNITING for health equity, opening the door for all moms to have access to care and protecting the health of families by advocating for their rights.
  • YOU’RE CONNECTING through year-round through customized challenges and team building activities that engage employees, families and friends who want moms and babies to be healthy and strong.
  • YOU’RE HONORING motherhood, babies and those who’ve experienced loss by staying active and creating change.
  • YOU’RE CARING for all families throughout their pregnancy—whether it goes as planned or has unexpected challenges— by raising critical funds, so moms and babies get the best possible start.

You can join the movement by starting your own team and creating a fundraising page to share on social media or by joining an existing team.  Sign up today to help families here in Florida and across the country.  Thank you for joining the fight for health and equity for all moms and babies!
