Fun Ways to do the Serious Work of Saving Babies

Lebanon WalkAmerica Committee Members (l to r) Karla Wildman, Shelly Zellers, Sandy Anderson and local March of Dimes Ambassador Kennedy Zellers make statement to save babies with float in 2006 July 4th parade in Lebanon. 

A key component of the March of Dimes fight against premture birth, birth defects and infant mortality is public awareness of the problem.

By raising awareness of the crisis facing Indiana's babies you will help generate support to fund March of Dimes research and community programs that save babies' lives.

Does your community have a parade?  Gather volunteers and enter a float like they did in Lebanon, Terre Haute and Lafayette!

Does your community hang street banners for special events?  Recruit artistic volunteers to make street banners to hang across Main Street during Prematurity Awareness month in November or for WalkAmerica!

Does your community demonstrate strong support for local sports team?  Organize volunteers to conduct a special halftime presentation or announcement and "pass the hat" amongst the crowd!

For more ideas contact your local division office of the Indiana Chapter of the March of Dimes at 1-800-244-9255 or email tarndt@marchofdimes.com.


Donating is easy online, by phone or mail / fax.
