Count Down to March of Babies begins

Hello!

Time is ticking down to the March for Babies, the largest annual fundraiser for the March of Dimes. I have heard that lots of Circle K's are participating this year, including my own! To help the members out there in preparation for the big day, I am forwarding on some information - please feel free to send this to your regions and districts!

The March of Dimes National Youth Council will be holding another March for Babies call on Monday, March 30 at 9 PM EST. There will also be an advisor call the next day at 9pm EST for Circle K advisors who wish to participate. To jump on either call, just dial: 1-800-411-7650, ext. 0820#. There will be some updates, youth-specific best practices, and a chance for questions and sharing.

For those who haven't registered yet, visit www.marchforbabies.org to set up your team. With over 900 walks taking place across the United States, there are plenty of options!

For Circle K's outside of the United States, you can join in on the celebration by fundraising and participating in advocacy and mission activities in your country. For more information on March of Dimes mission programming and how you can help, visit www.marchofdimes.com and www.marchofdimes.com/youth.

You can find additional materials and information about creating an Online Fundraising page, 'Where Your Money Goes,' March of Dimes logos and pictures, and widgets and badges for your e-mail and Facebook page at http://marchforbabies.org/spread_the_word.aspx. If you search for March of Dimes in youtube, you'll get access to some great videos about the organization, its mission and its volunteers to share with your Circle K as well!

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me. A strong partnership between the Circle K and the March of Dimes will go a long way in the fight to ensure that EVERY baby is born healthy. Will you be a champion for all babies?
