When our members walk in M4B, we give hope to the more than half a million babies born to soon each year. The money raised for this annual national fundraiser supports programs in our communities that help mothers have healthy, full-term pregnancies and funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten babies everywhere. March of Dimes (MOD) has been hosting walk events since 1970 and has raised an incredible $2.5 billion to benefit all babies.
