Join an event:

March of Dimes

We work with everyone from schoolchildren to scientists and celebrities to citizens to make a difference for babies. Whether volunteering, joining an event or making a donation, you can help us prevent premature birth and birth defects, and improve the health of moms and babies.

Team Youth

Team youth provides leadership opportunities for students and advisors of all ages. The students get involved by creating awareness, raising money and to speaking out for moms and babies. They're also provided with opportunities to learn and to teach each other about healthy lifestyle choices.

National service partners

Through the years, local and national organizations have worked hard to make sure that babies have the best start in life. From community educational programs to fundraising events, these partnerships continue to create awareness, raise funds, and get us closer to answers.
