Greater Birmingham Area March for Babies

We walk to give EVERY BABY a fighting chance. Thanks to all our walkers, donors and volunteers who have accepted the challenge to help fight premature birth, birth defects and infant loss. We cannot achieve our mission without each one of you! The 2017 March for Babies will highlight the strength of families affected by premature birth, birth defects and the loss of a child, celebrate the strides we’ve made towards accomplishing our mission and applaud the fundraising efforts of our donors. On April 29, 2017, more than 3,000 individuals will come together at Uptown (by the BJCC) to support the March of Dimes. Our goal is to raise a total of $700,000 for a healthier future for babies. Festival Area & Donation turn-in opens 8:00 a.m. – Stage programming starts 8:30 a.m. – 2.2 mile walk begins 9:00 a.m. – Festival activities and award announcements continue until close at 11:30 a.m. We will also have a Superhero Sprint this year for all of our amazing kids! The Superhero Sprint is a kids “fun run” that will be implemented at all March for Babies walk sites, and puts the March of Dimes “mission in motion.” For the suggested donation of $20 per child or $30 for the family, all kids receive a cape (while supplies last), and the opportunity to run in the Superhero Sprint!
