WHAT IS MARCH FOR BABIES?     
March for Babies is our best weapon to raise money and awareness for the fight against premature birth — the #1 killer of babies in the United States — birth defects and infant mortality. March for Babies funds cutting-edge research, programs and treatments that help more moms go full term and have healthy babies.
