Our largest national walking event fundraiser.

Fighting for the health of all moms and babies one walk at a time

A march with a purpose

March for Babies

Funds raised by March for Babies events support research and other programs to prevent preterm birth, birth defects, and infant mortality. With thousands of events held each year throughout the U.S., we provide one of the simplest and most enjoyable ways for you to make a difference in the lives of many. Join us to help every mom, baby, and family get an equal, healthy and safe start.

The need is great

The U.S. remains among the most dangerous developed nations for childbirth, especially for families of color. With your help, we can work together to change that. Your participation in March for Babies is incredibly important, and the funds raised are essential to the success of our mission to fight for the health of all moms and babies.

Every step counts
