CAANN would like to thank those of you who participated in the 2009 March of Dimes March for Babies. Nine members responded to CAANN's challenge to participate and each received a donation of $10 into their banks from CAANN.
Despite the best efforts of all those that participated, the March of Dimes March for Babies is $3 million short of its fundraising goal! Several million dollars in research grants funded by the March of Dimes have already been cut and that looks to be just the beginning if additional funds aren't raised. The March of Dimes says that if every participant donated an additional $20, the goal would be met. If you were a participant or if you know someone that was, please consider making an additional donation of $20 to help the March of Dimes meet its fundraising goal so that they can continue to support research and programs that help moms have full-term pregnancies and babies begin healthy lives. If you would like to donate, the link to the March of Dimes March for Babies site on our home page is still active.
