5 minutes of caring

March of Dimes

by Sam Davidson (Tuesday, January 23, 2007)

Help prevent birth defects all month long.

January is National Birth Defects Prevention month. In the US, one out of every 33 babies is born with a birth defect. And while much money and research have been spent in lowering this rate, there is still much to be done. Take a minute today to learn more about the March of Dimes and the National Birth Defects Prevention Network. These two organizations need donations and volunteers to continue the good work they're doing all over the world. Even if you're not a parent or don't know someone affected, your help is still badly needed and greatly appreciated.

WalkAmerica is now March for Babies!

You may have heard the news…March of Dimes has changed the name of our signature event, WalkAmerica. It’s now called March for Babies. Our new name makes it very clear who we’re walking for ― all babies.

Help your readers stay informed. Please update your blog with the new name and logo anywhere the WalkAmerica event is mentioned…every mention of our new event name helps spread the word about our name change and our new look.

Visit our Web site at www.marchforbabies.org/SpreadtheWord for our new logo and other materials to help us spread the word.

While our event name is different, our mission remains the same. March of Dimes is still the champion for babies – raising funds needed for research and programs that make a difference in the lives of babies and their families.

We appreciate your interest in the March of Dimes. Please don’t hesitate to e-mail our Media Representative mediainquiries@marchofdimes.com if you have any questions about our new name or our event.

One day all babies will be born healthy, but we have to walk to get there.

Thank you,
March for Babies Team
