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.
WHERE IS MARCH FOR BABIES?
Lace up your sneakers and join us for March for Babies presented by CITGO on Saturday, May 14, 2016 at McCaughan Park. More than 3,000 fundraisers will gather to walk 3 miles along the bayfront seawall (from McCaughan Park to the American Bank Center and back) to help fight premature birth. Get set for a memorable and rewarding day for the whole family including a Family Fun Area, Face Painting, Entertainment, Food and Music. This year, Corpus Christi March for Babies is proud to have Ken Trevino – President & CEO of Workforce Solutions of the Coastal Bend as March for Babies Chair, and we hope to raise $575,000.00.
