| Florida joined together by the thousands to raise more than $10 million in support of the March of Dimes fight to save babies from premature birth – the leading killer of newborns - and other serious threats to infant health.
As the March of Dimes biggest annual fund-raiser, WalkAmerica helps support the innovative research and programs needed to find out what causes prematurity and how it can be prevented.
Congratulations to Florida’s Top Corporate Partner and Number One WalkAmerica Team in 2007 for the 6th year in a row. Publix associates and customers together raised over $1.8 million dollars.
Another special group of WalkAmerica participants are Family Teams. These Teams are groups of families and friends organized by parents who’ve been touched by premature birth. They not only help to raise valuable funds, but they give hope to other families who have a baby born prematurely or with a birth defect. Their grass-roots efforts of embraced the March of Dimes in a way we haven’t seen since the polio days.
