SUPPORT THE MISSION

For over 79 years, the March of Dimes has helped moms have full term pregnancies and healthy babies. Each year, more than 4 million babies are born in the United States and the March of Dimes has helped each and every one of them through our research, education, vaccines and breakthroughs. We are also hard at work on the next big breakthrough – finding a way to effectively prevent premature birth, which affects 500,000 families every year. You can help us accomplish our mission! With your support and donations we are able to Fund the Mission and give every baby in Louisiana a healthy start.
