March of Dimes Pacific Grove March for Babies 2017

Saturday, May 13, 2017

Check-in 8:00 a.m.; Walk begins at 9:00 a.m.

Lovers Point Park, Pacific Grove

Join us as we walk together for stronger, healthier babies at Lover’s Point Park for a scenic walk of 6 miles along the Monterey Bay Coast Trail and back. 

March for Babies® is the March of Dimes largest fundraiser. Each year nearly 4,000,000 babies are born in the United States and March of Dimes touches each one of them. March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Premature birth is the leading cause of newborn death in the United States. In the U.S., one in ten babies are born too soon. Babies who survive an early birth may have lifelong health problems such as cerebral palsy, vision and hearing loss, and learning disabilities. 

One day, all babies will be born healthy – but until then we need to walk to raise funds for research, advocacy, community programs, and education. This year more than 3 million supporters will participate in March for Babies in 500 communities nationwide.
