It's March 2nd and before you know it you'll be tying your laces to walk in the Salt Lake March for Babies walk! Spring is just around the corner so now is the time to REGISTER your team, RECRUIT walkers to join you and start FUNDRAISING for BABIES!
Yesterday the Opening Bell at the New York Stock Exchange was rung by March of Dimes celebrity spokesperson Sherri Shepherd of The View. Sherri Shepherd has a son who was born three months prematurely and she's been an advocate and spokesperson for the March of Dimes ever since. This ringing of the bell was the official kick off to this year's March for Babies in over 900 communities in the U.S. To read more click here.
Also in the news is one of March for Babies biggest sponsors, Kmart. Over the past 26 years Kmart has raised $79 million dollars for the March of Dimes. Last year they raised over $8 million dollars! This is an amazing amount of money and if you are looking to support a company that supports the cause of the March of Dimes head to Kmart! Now through May 31st you can make a donation at any store cash register for $1., $5., or $10.
So the rest of the country is getting ready for the march, are you?! If you haven't yet please register and spread the word that you are walking through the many tools provided through the March for Babies website. We have just over 2 months before the march so you want plenty of time to fundraise and get the word out!
