The March of Dimes is a leader and pioneer in the fight to save babies. We have an outstanding track record of success and we are prepared to accomplish even greater things in the future to solve the problems of prematurity, birth defects, and low birthweight.		  

Ambassador Program

Ambassadors in the Greater Kentucky area are children who have benefited from March of Dimes research or programs. They play a vital role in spreading the word about the March of Dimes, our accomplishments and the work yet to be done. Ambassador families share their stories at various March of Dimes functions.

If you would like more information about the Ambassador Program or if you have a story to share.  If you are interested in the March of Dimes Ambassador Program, please email us or call one of our offices.
