Why Support the March of Dimes?

 
Since its beginning, the March of Dimes has depended on the generosity of people like you to carry out its mission of saving babies. Volunteers are the driving force behind the foundation, giving generously of their time and talent to serve in a variety of ways. 

Here are just a few ways you can get involved:
  • Take part in community programs in Oregon and Southwest Washington that are sponsored by the March of Dimes
  • Participate in public affairs efforts related to maternal, infant and child health issues in Oregon and Southwest Washington and/or the country
  • Help with phone calls, mailings or clerical tasks in the March of Dimes office
  • Help at local events like March for Babies.
If you are interested in volunteering with the March of Dimes, please sign up or call one of our offices.


Funds for March of Dimes research, education, advocacy and community programs are generated through fundraising events. Participants purchase tickets to dinners or solicit donations from friends and associates for March for Babies, Jail & Bail and Reading Champions.

If you are interested in attending a March of Dimes fundraising event, please e-mail or call one of our offices.


Goodwill Ambassadors in Oregon and Southwest Washington 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. Contact Us 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 e-mail or call one of our offices.



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