March Of Dimes Event At The Topeka Zoo To Benefit All Babies |
Formerly known as WalkAmerica, March for Babies is the March of Dimes premier event that benefits all babies—those born healthy as well as those who need help to survive and thrive. The March for Babies event is Friday, April 24, 2009. Registration begins at 5:00 p.m., with opening ceremonies beginning at 5:30p.m. inside the Topeka Zoological Park, Topeka, Kan. The 2009 ambassodor family is: Hayley Dobson and Joshua and Xavier Valdivia.
Premature birth touches half a million babies and their families every year. Babies born too soon are more likely to die or have disabilities. More than 120,000 babies are born with serious birth defects that can mean a lifetime of disability. Babies born healthy need champions, too, to ensure they have access to newborn screening and preventive health care. The March of Dimes is there for all babies.
Register by visiting marchforbabies.org, calling 1-800-525-9255 or picking up your sponsor forms at Kmart or Famous Footwear.
For further information contact Mike Coker at the Topeka Zoo at 368-9180 or 228-0084, 806-0224.
