March of Dimes

Becoming a parent is said to be one of the happiest moments in life. Hearing your baby cry for the first time while reaching out and grabbing its hand is a moment that will never be forgotten. Your life will become richer and your ability to love will grow stronger. You will be able to relive your life through the eyes of your child and want nothing more for them than their happiness. The key to raising a healthy, happy child is to give them a good running start from the second they are brought into the world. March of Dimes exists to do just that. The organization is designed to give you all the support you need throughout and after the pregnancy. Unfortunately life isn’t as welcoming to all babies and obstacles are introduced. March of Dimes is there to support babies born premature, sick, or with a birth defect.  Join arms with March of Dimes today and together we can make a difference.

The March of Dimes is a non-profit organization founded by Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1938. Roosevelt started this foundation in an Anti-Polio effort as a response to the United States epidemic outbreak. Polio is a condition that leaves people with irreversible disabilities. The association was in alliance between scientist and volunteers to raise money for support and research efforts.

 The name of “March of Dimes,” initially was called National Foundation for Infantile Paralysis. The name change came in the 1930’s and was inspired by a vaudeville series titled “The March of Time.” The foundation used to host an annual charity event that encouraged children to donate a dime. There were stations set up all around the cities taking place around the winter holiday season. The organization later adopted the name “March of Dimes.”
