OUR MISSION
March of Dimes fights for the health of all moms and babies. We support research, lead programs and provide education and advocacy so that every baby can have the best possible start. Building on a successful 80-year legacy of impact and innovation, we empower every mom and every family.
We imagine a world where every mom and baby is healthy regardless of wealth, race or
geography. Our goal is to end preventable maternal risk and death, preterm birth and infant death. To achieve
these goals, we must also end the health equity gap.
YOUR SUPPORT
When you support March of Dimes, you're standing up for all families- those who had first-hand hardships, those celebrating their health and those just trying to get the best possible start. Your gift helps us fight serious maternal and infant health issues affecting our communities and provide innovative programs and services for moms and babies at a time when they need us most.
ROLLINS' FAMILY
Benjamin, Audrey, and Cora Rollins were all born at just 28 weeks. Weighing only 2 lb 6.4 oz, 1 lb 3 oz, and 1 lb 4 oz, these precious babies had a long road ahead of them. These three had so many struggles to face like collapsed lungs, chest tubes, vents, and more- The Rollins Family suffered so much fear in the NICU. It is with great honor we remember Cora’s life after her short 3 days with us. Benjamin and Audrey are with us today as a perfect example of the March of Dimes urgent mission. While Benjamin spent 76 days in the NICU and Audrey, spent 165 days in the NICU, we gratefully were able to walk alongside them during this journey. Our NICU Family Support Program right here at Prisma Health Memorial Campus allows us to provide an additional layer of emotional support for families.
Thanks to research by March of Dimes and the care they received by your amazing team, they are now happy and healthy 15 month olds. Unfortunately, not all babies get the same chance to thrive and we are working to change that.
