You can hold mini-fundraisers anytime to help the March of Dimes save babies from birth defects and premature birth. If you are a WalkAmerica team you can boost your WalkAmerica totals for 2007. Check out some ideas for min-fundraisers:

Pink & Blue Jeans for Babies
Pink & Blue Jeans for Babies gives employees the opportunity to “make the fashion statement that saves babies.”  Participate for a day (or a week!) by wearing your favorite pink and/or blue items – jeans, tees, scarves, ties, whatever – to work.  Show your support by purchasing a sticker, button, or T-shirt to benefit the March of Dimes.  Call your local March of Dimes office for supplies at 1-800-BIG-WALK

Paper Ornaments
The annual Pick-a-Pumpkin paper ornament campaign returns for the fall. Sell these bright paper pumpkins at your store, office or school for $1 or more each. Everyone who purchases a paper pumpkin can sign their name so that when you hang them up, everyone can see who is saving babies lives! Now, the March of Dimes has a new paper ornament to sell at your establishment - the Pink and Blue Awareness Ribbon (pictured above). Contact your local March of Dimes office at 1-800-BIG-WALK to receive your supply of paper ornaments at no cost.

SilverLady Jewelry
Invite Nancy Dana, SilverLady, to your work location or gathering for a jewelry sale while you raise money for the March of Dimes. Four 6 foot tables and one electrical outlet are required by the host. 50% of the profits benefit the March of Dimes.
