About the March of Dimes
The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health. With chapters nationwide, the March of Dimes works to improve the health of babies. Founded in 1938 by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, the organization was originally called the National Infantile Paralysis Foundation. After funding the research that led to the eradication of polio, the organization changed its focus to premature birth and birth defects. The March of Dimes will celebrate its 75th Anniversary in 2013. For the latest resources and information, visit marchofdimes.com
