NEW YORK, N.Y., DECEMBER 22, 2008 – March of Dimes President Dr. Jennifer L. Howse (left of podium) joined Dee Snider, Honorary Chairman of March of Dimes “Bikers for Babies” and renowned front man for the 1980s heavy metal band Twisted Sister, to ring The Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange to help raise awareness for the March of Dimes "Bikers for Babies". The cause is personal for Dee: two of his children were born prematurely, and he’s leading the pack to help other babies be born healthy. (Photo Mel Nudelman/NYSE).
