This spring, thousands of walkers took to the streets in 19 Oregon and Southwest Washington communities. Their goal was to raise $1 million to save premature babies—and step by step they made it happen. The 2004 WalkAmerica was the most successful ever in the Greater Oregon Chapter. This amazing accomplishment was made possible with the hard work of team captains, walkers and corporate sponsors.
Money raised through WalkAmerica funds research and education efforts to prevent premature birth, the leading cause of newborn death.
Special thank you to Eric Parsons, CEO of Standard Insurance Company and the 2004 WalkAmerica Chairman for his leadership and support.
Save the date for WalkAmerica 2005, Saturday, April 30th. The March of Dimes is proud to announce that Wes Lawrence, president of KeyBank of Oregon will serve as the 2005 WalkAmerica chairman. |
