Why support March of Dimes?March of Dimes is the only non-profit organization that completed its initial mission with finding the cure for polio in 1954. Even so, there was work to be done in finding a solution to premature births.
During an average week in Nevada, 640 babies are born. Ninety-four are born too soon. Fifty-four are born with low birth weight and have to fight for their lives. Four babies lose that fight before their first birthday.
Our mission is to improve the health of babies by preventing birth defects, premature births and infant mortality. We carry out this mission through programs of research, community service, education and advocacy.
Our research means hope for babies born prematurely; some so small they fit into the palm of your hand. We fight for health care so children can see a doctor when they need to get their shots. Our educational programs tell women what they can do to help their babies be born healthy and reduce the risk of preterm labor. With your help, we will reach the day when all babies are born healthy.March of Dimes is the champion for all babies.
