05/19/12 MARCH FOR BABIES - Holman Stadium, Nashua, NH
Ready. Set. March for Babies! March of Dimes kicks off its biggest fundraiser to help all moms and babies
Nashua, NH – On Saturday May 19th hundreds of families, friends and business leaders will join together at Holman Stadium for 2012 March for Babies, the March of Dimes biggest fundraiser and the nation’s oldest fundraising walk honoring babies, those born healthy and those that need help to survive and thrive. Nashua’s goal is $70,000. Dollars raised in the Nashua event support March of Dimes research, education and community programs to help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies to begin healthy lives.
Everyone involved knows how important the March of Dimes mission is. As mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles and others, each participant took on the role to raise awareness and important funding to provide for babies who are born premature or with birth defects.
Registration begins at 9:00 am with the 3 mile walk kicking off at 10:00 am. Participation in March for Babies will provide a memorable and rewarding day for the whole family including lunch, musical entertainment, children’s activities, characters, face painting and more.
Funds raised by March for Babies in New Hampshire help support prenatal wellness programs, centering pregnancy sites, research grants, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) family support programs and advocacy efforts for stronger, healthier babies.
The most urgent infant health problem in the U.S. today is premature birth. It affects more than half a million babies every year and the cost for their healthcare is over $26 billion dollars. The March of Dimes is committed to reducing this toll by funding research to find the answers to problems that continue to threaten the health of babies.
The March for Babies is sponsored nationally by the March of Dimes number one corporate supporter Kmart, as well as Farmers Insurance Group, CIGNA, United, Famous Footwear, FedEx, First Response, Mission Pharmacal, Sanofi Pasteur and Watson Pharmaceuticals. State sponsors include Hannaford and CHaD.

The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health.
