Family Teams are made up of friends and family members who want to honor their own children or children they know – babies born prematurely or with a birth defect; babies who didn’t survive; or healthy, full-term babies.  Family Teams help remind everyone of the urgency of the mission of the March of Dimes. Their grass-roots efforts of embraced the March of Dimes in a way we haven’t seen since the polio days. 

Nationally more than 18,000 Family Teams participated nationwide, raising nearly $13.2 million.
