March For Babies

Chance for Weekend Rain Doesn’t Cloud the Day For Maryland’s Moms and Babies
Ready. Set. March for Babies!

(Salisbury)— Rain or shine, on Sunday, April 22nd at The Salisbury Moose Lodge, families and business leaders will join together in the March of Dimes annual March for Babies—the nation’s oldest walk fundraiser honoring babies born healthy and those who need help to survive and thrive.

“We know the weather might prevent some from attending the event,” says Karen Davis, State Farm Insurance- Salisbury March for Babies Leadership Chair. “However, we have a lot of people registered to walk at marchforbabies.org so we we’re expecting a crowd who want to make a difference in the health of babies.”

March for Babies Registration begins at 8:30 a.m. with the walk kicking off at 10:00 a.m. Participation in March for Babies will provide a memorable and rewarding day for the whole family. To register for an event in your community, visit www.marchforbabies.org.
