March of Dimes has been raising awareness and fighting to help save premature babies. Their main goal is to "Work together for stronger, healthier babies." As a member of FBLA (Future Business Leaders of America) at our school, we have been competing to see which class can raise the most money for March of Dimes. So I thought I would share with you all about it as well, that way, maybe you can start your own fundraiser to help save the babies.
More than 13 million babies are born prematurely worldwide. Many of them don't make it to see their first birthday. In the United States, 1 in 8 babies are born prematurely. Premature birth is the number one cause of death during the first month of life.
Here are some pictures of premature babies; provided by March of Dimes website.
If you would like to get involved with March of Dimes, here are some ways how:
-Educate yourself and others! Learn more about March of Dimes and what they do!
-Use purple to attract attention! Hang balloons, banners, streamers, make some shirts, or anything else you can think of!
-Dedicate a Facebook status or blog post
-Set up a collection box and check under the couch cushions, empty your jean pockets, search your wallets and car!
-Sign up for a March of Dimes walk!
There are so many ways that you can get involved!
This is the shirt I made to help spread the word...It didn't turn out the way I wanted it to, but oh well!
"There is no foot too small that cannot leave an Imprint on this world."
Let's all work together to change the world!
